GET BACK GHOST

Your blogger, PJS, has a new job, a thesis, and a film symposium to organize. But I'm gonna try to squeeze this one in:
NYU Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures presents: Graduate Student Workshop

Ghost as a Trope
Saturday, February 23, 1:00-7:00
Die Kleinen von den Meinen (Mephistopheles) Or What art thou? (Horatio)

"Broadening out from literary and cinematic case studies the workshop will explore the nature of ghostly figures and ways in which they could lend authority to previously silenced voices. The time framework stretches from the early "sightings" in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" deep into current implications, a time in which a return of that which returns becomes progressively more apparent."

Participants: Sue de Beer (NYU), Nicola Behrmann (NYU), Frauke Berndt (University of Chicago), Janelle Blankenship (University of Western Ontario), Sladja Blazan (NYU/Humboldt University Berlin), Jeff Champlin (NYU), Eckart Goebel (NYU), Alicja Kowalska (NYU), Natalie Nagel (NYU), Avital Ronell (NYU), Robert Stockhammer (Ludwig Maximilan Universität München), Brigitte Weingart (Columbia University) and further graduate students.

I doubt they'll be checking student IDs at Deutsches Haus, so don't worry if you're not an NYU student. It's at 42 Washington Mews that cool little alley of a street, not available on google street view.
