> Dear Friends of the Berlin Program,
>  
> Please join us for the upcoming events at Freie Universität Berlin (we apologize for possible double postings):
> ►This year’s Summer Workshop June 23-25, 2016
> Becoming TransGerman: Transnational, Transdisciplinary, Transgender, Transhuman
> aims to explore the ways in which "trans" describes contemporary Germans and German society. The transcendence of national, corporeal, disciplinary, and institutional limits is embodied by the use of the prefix "trans." The workshop seeks to engage this multifaceted transcendence to explore how Germans and Germany are increasingly situated “beyond” prescribed limits: Beyond the nation, the discipline, the human, the gendered subject, and more. Scholars and artists are encouraged to explore the ways in which "trans" is deployed in a wide variety of academic and cultural areas, from political and social institutions to cultural discourses and aesthetic forms.

> ► Distinguished Lecture by Irene Kacandes, Dartmouth College and GSA on Thursday, June 30, 2016
> Memory Work for/in the 21st Century 
> We happily invite you to attend this year’s Distinguished Lecture delivered by Irene Kacandes, Dartmouth College/GSA.
> In this talk Irene Kacandes explores how memory work can help us understand and address pressing contemporary problems like multiple wars, conflicts, humanitarian crises and mass migration. The recent and rapid influx of refugees has fed extreme nationalist parties in Europe with the result that hard-won moral capital against antisemitism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide acquired in the post WWII decades is disappearing at an alarming rate. Questioning much-used injunctions like “never again” and “never forget”, Irene Kacandes calls for the use of the more subtle, labor-intensive tools of “post-remembering” and “co-witnessing”. In this year’s Distinguished Lecture, she will review the history of such concepts and illustrate through literary, filmic, and mass media texts successful strategies for alliance with the traumatized.
> The lecture will be followed by a commentary by writer Maxi Obexer and a discussion. The event will be moderated by Paul Nolte, Freie Universität Berlin and musically accompanied by Michael O’Toole (Berlin Program Fellow 2015/16) and David Benforado who will be performing pieces on oud and ney.
