Writer, activist, and performer Deborah D. E. E. P. Mouton will read from and discuss her memoir Black Chameleon on June 19th at 7 pm at the Studiobühne of the WWU, Domplatz 23. This event is in commemoration of the proclamation of the end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865 and is meant to not only enter into a discussion on contemporary systemic racism in the U. S. but also to discuss the importance of mythology for Black women in the U. S., the potentials of autobiographical genres, and the role literature plays for the times in which we currently live.

The event is hosted by Silvia Schultermandl and Gulsin Ciftci. Registration is encouraged but not mandatory: americanstudies@uni-muenster.de.

Next GLAM lecture on May 25th with Erica Fretwell. You're more than welcome to join!

This talk explores the role of medial noise in the visual poetry of Susan Howe as it relates to her archival practice.

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact Gulsin Ciftci.

In case of interest or inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Gulsin Ciftci or Rita Maricocchi.

This workshop engages with Prof. Bewes’s latest book, Free Indirect: The Novel in a Postfictional Age (Columbia University Press, 2022), which shakes the grounds on which the theory of the novel has long been standing and offers new ways of seeing and engaging with literature.
This event is co-organized by Gulsin Ciftci and Anna Thiemann, in cooperation with the Graduate School Practices of Literature.

For any further questions, please contact Gulsin Ciftci.

On Thursday, April 27th, we will be joined by Jessica Pressman to discuss her acclaimed book Bookishness: Loving Books in a Digital Age and its reception since it was published in late 2020. In this two parts event, we first create a library of bookish objects to glance at the every day images of bookishness, which will be followed by a masterclass by Jessica Pressman herself. All are invited!

Please see the attached poster for further details or refer to our registration page.

The Guest Lectures in American Studies Münster (GLAM) lecture series will take place over the 2023 summer term. Further information about the lectures and registration links can be found here.

We cordially invite you to attend our final GLAM talk this semester. Eugenie Brinkema from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be holding a talk on "Get Out; Or, How to Read a Sunken Form".
Dr. Brinkema's research in film and media studies focuses on violence, affect, sexuality, aesthetics, and ethics in texts ranging from the horror film to gonzo pornography, from the body of films dubbed “New European Extremism” to the viral media forms of terrorism. Her talk therefore promises to be quite thought provoking.

As usual, this talk will be held via Zoom. Please register yourselves using one of the attached files or at:
