Title: Teach Europe Program
Body: From: The German Information Center Last year's anniversary of the French-German Elysee Treaty was celebrated with a lot of events and with the creation of a great program: Teach Europe. The program offers fair and updated information on the European Union, its multicultural nature, its economy, its role and impact on today's world, and its relations with the United States. Teach Europe is open to all educators, but is targeted especially toward high school teachers of French and German languages, as well as any other EU language, Social Studies, and History. No previous training in European studies is necessary. The program features annual workshop seminars, a general website for the teachers and their students and a pedagogical resources kit, for direct classroom use, given to all participants. Workshops will be held at the participating universities of Yale, Columbia and Rutgers. Each set of four workshops will be opened with a keynote speech setting the main themes for the day and will be followed by a European lunch and a panel discussion to open up the debate. Each day, participants will work closely together with professors and will be exposed to innovative teaching strategies. All workshops are planned in accordance with nationwide Continuing Education Units standards. Upon completion of the program, CEUs or Credit Hours will be granted to the participants. Teach Europe was developed by the Cultural Sections of the German Consulate General New York and the French Embassy, as well as the American Association of Teachers of French, the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG), the French Institute Alliance Française, the Goethe Institut, and the Universities of Yale, Rutgers, and Columbia. The European Union Delegation in Washington, DC is a partner of the program. For further information, visit the Teach Europe website at www.teacheurope.org or call the Cultural Services of the French Consulate General in New York at (212) 439-1436 or (212) 439-1408

Body: From: THe German Information Center The MLA Committee on German Literature to 1700 is organizing three sessions for the 2004 convention in Philadelphia (December 27-30, 2004). Text as Spectacle, Spectacle as Text The study of visuality has recently emerged as one of the most vigorous sites of debate and (inter)disciplinary engagement in the humanities.

Conflict and Peacemaking in Premodern German Literature Strife and warfare count among the most prominent themes in premodern literature. This session will discuss literary representations and rituals of conflict as well as how forms of toleration and peacemaking result from hostilities. Open Session For this session, we are inviting submissions on all aspects of pre-1750 German literature. Topics may include: presentations on individual texts or groups of texts from the medieval and early modern periods; discussions of recent trends in the field; talks on the pedagogy and teaching of premodern texts; or reflections on the state of the field. Submit the title and a short description of up to one page via email. The deadline for abstracts is March 1, 2004.

Title: German Literature: Spreading the word on the internet
Body: From: The German Information Center The idea isn't new, but its execution is unparalleled. The internet portal Litrix.de has been launched to promote the translation of German books into other languages. But unlike its predecessors, who use carefully fabricated summaries to promote new books, Litrix brings the actual text to the reader by offering up to 20 sample pages in English. The site isn't just for Germanophiles, but "primarily for those interested in literature and people active in the book market, for publishers, editors, translators, literary scouts, but also for students," says Heike Friesel from Litrix's editorial staff. The Goethe Institute has been instrumental in bringing the project - funded by Germany's Federal Cultural Foundation - to life. The first authors to have their books publicized on the portal are a select group of very prominent authors whose works have made a splash in a sea of new publications this past year. Among them are Uwe Timm's "My Brother's Example" and Asfa-Wossen Asserate's "Manners," an inquiry into Western European social mores. Alongside recent notable fiction and non-fiction bestsellers are the most important new books for children and young people. The emergence of Litrix.de bodes well in combating the veritable dearth of German books in translation on America's book market, a development that has only occurred in the last few decades. The first wave of German writers who found wide audiences in the United States did so with the help of a number of successful Jewish publishers and editors who fled Germany during the rise of Nazism. Names such as Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, and Heinrich Boell became cult hits and academic standards - often because there were many talented German-speaking professionals in New York's publishing community. Beginning this year, the site will also include translations into Arabic, and next year it hopes to finance the translation of books on the site into Eastern European languages.

Title: Germanizer.de
Body: From: The German Information Center The German international broadcasting station Deutsche Welle launched a new flash web site focused on a young target group. www.germanizer.de plays with German stereotypes and aims at showing the colorfull, fun side of Germany. Students can use the site as a platform to learn German, get the latest news, swap ideas and information, upload pictures of German experiences, send e-cards and simply have fun. To log on to the site and join the Germanizer club, users have to pass some "tests" such as to 'spot the German', 'Talk der Lingo', and make sure to be on time. "Deutsche Welle is renowned for being a provider of serious news and information", says Guido Baumhauer, head of DW-Online. "With The Instant Germanizer, we've aimed to break the mold and focus on the fun aspects of German life and culture." Links: www.germanizer.de Deutsche Welle
