Dear colleagues and students,

We invite you to next week’s session in our lecture series Loss in the Land of Plenty: Understanding American Crisis, Decline, and Paths to Renewal:

On December 10, Heike Paul will give a talk on “Lost Cause Sentimentalism and the Rise of Right-Wing Populism.”

Heike Paul is a professor of American Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, where she is also the spokesperson of the Global Sentimentality Project. She is a recipient of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Preis and the author of Amerikanischer Staatsbürgersentimentalismus: Zur Lage der politischen Kultur der USA (2021). More recently, she co-edited a collection of essays titled Sentimental State(s): Affective Politics of Order and Belonging (with Sarah Pritz).

As always the talk will take place at Arnimallee 22, from 16:15 to 17:45.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

 

Best,

Lora Anne Viola and Stefanie Müller
