 Dr. Annette Seidel-Arpaci
Post Doctorate Researcher, YIISA Annette Seidel Arpacı received her PhD in 2005 at the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Leeds. She co-authored a study on Racisms in Feminist Psychosocial Support Networks in Germany, France and Britain (1999) and has published various articles and book chapters. Currently she is the co-editor of a forthcoming volume entitled Trauma, Victims and Collective Memory: Discourses of German Wartime Suffering in Historical and International Perspective. From 2005 - 2008 she taught in the Department of German, Russian and Slavonic Studies at Leeds and managed a large project examining the latest German debates about a so-called 'German victimhood'. She held a fellowship from SICSA (Jerusalem) and in 2006 was a resident scholar at the Library of Congress. Prior to her studies in Britain, she worked in various fields, such as in feminist projects and has been engaged in migrant initiatives against antisemitism and racisms in Germany. Her work focuses on the sociocultural legacy of National Socialism in Germany, Holocaust memory and 'multiculturalism', discourses of racism and antisemitism, and on minoritised positionalities and cultural production. Her most recent publication is 'Better Germans? "Hostipitality" and Strategic Creolization in Maxim Biller's Writings,' in Migratory Settings (Thamrys Intersecting: Place, Sex, and Race, No. 19), eds. Murat Aydemir and Alex Rotas (Amsterdam and New York: Rodopi, 2008), pp. 159-180. |
