The seminar discussion will be based on three excerpts from a novel of this cycle, Explosion: Roman der Ethnologie (, , ). The seminar will be conducted in German. Reception to follow.
The events are sponsored by the Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy, the Laboratory for Race & Popular Culture (RAP Lab), and the Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages & Literatures.
