Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Gender as a Category of Knowledge

PhD Project:

Mutter Heimat: Gender and the Loss of Home in Literature, Film, and Theatre After 1945
(Germany and Poland)

Description of the Project

In my PhD project I examine literary texts, films, and plays concerning the topic of flight, expulsion, and resettlement of German and Polish populations due to World War II. I focus on the period from 1950 to the early-1960s and the period after 1989. My main interest is to find out in which way gendered symbolizations formed the discourse on flight, expulsion, and resettlement.
