 About the Speakers:

Barbara Nagel is Associate Professor of German at Princeton University; her research focuses on the relation between rhetoric, violence, and affect in German literature and thought, with a historical emphasis on early modernity (Reformation to the Baroque), literature around 1800, and nineteenth-century realism. Barbara works on revising the inherited categories of literary history in the German canon: the Baroque in her first book (Der Skandal der Literalen, Fink, 2012) and realism in her second book (Ambiguous Aggression in German Realism and Beyond, Bloomsbury, 2019); her current book project “The Mighty Hater: The Metaphysics of Rage in Martin Luther’s Rhetoric” offers a critical counter-reading of the national-literary monument. Barbara is the recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship and the Berlin Prize from the American Academy.
