Nazis, Commies, and Capitalists, Oh My! German Culture from 1933 to the Present

The Iowa State Visual Culture Club will host a roundtable discussion on modern German culture at the conclusion of the German Art and Culture After 1933 Conference. The daylong interdisciplinary conference will address such topics as painting, photography, women in Nazi poster art, architecture in East and West Germany, the small film industry, and East German literature and theater. It brings together scholars from across the country who are redefining the field of German Studies in the wake of the collapse of Communism. Iowa State participants include Kevin Amidon, associate professor of German; Dan Krier, assistant professor of sociology; and April Eisman, assistant professor of art history. No pre-registration is required to attend the conference, which runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Gallery, Memorial Union.
