The contract is signed and I've moved into my new office space: Since today I'm a postdoc at the international research training group @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social at the @unigreifswald.bsky.social 🌊☀️ Thanks a lot for the warm welcome! :)

End of January the Baltic Peripeties team went on a trip to visit the exhibition „Von heute auf morgen“ by artist Manfred Scharnberg. Scharnberg documented the Wende in the region MV, focusing on people and their different perspectives and experiences. www.zingst.de/fotografie/m...

Next publication. ✌️ This one is even Open Access, about Gothic novels in German Romanticism and literary antisemitism as an affective tool of Writing Angst (E.T.A. Hoffmann, Ernst Moritz Arndt etc.). @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social

Today Tim Senkbeil presented his PhD project titled. We discussed excerpts from the novels „Die Möglichkeit von Glück“ by Anne Rabe and Hendrik Bolz‘s „Nullerjahre“, which are some of the central texts in his dissertation.
