It is across the river from Madison, Indiana and some wineries there. Women in German (WiG) provides a democratic forum for all people interested in feminist approaches to German literature and culture or in the intersection of gender with other categories of analysis such as sexuality, class, race, and ethnicity. Through its annual conference, panels at national professional meetings, and through the publication of the Women in German Yearbook, the organization promotes feminist scholarship of outstanding quality. Women in German is committed to making school and college curricula inclusive and seeks to create bridges, cross boundaries, nurture aspirations, and challenge assumptions while exercising critical self– awareness. Women in German is dedicated to eradicating discrimination in the classroom and in the teaching profession at all levels. WiG Bulletins Editorial Book early!! Listen to our wonderful organizers of the upcoming WiG Conference in Carrollton, Kentucky, and book your lodging at General Butler State Park before August 15!! Apparently, this site is so desirable, that they will not hold our blocked rooms past that date… so take a few minutes today, and make your reservations for the upcoming WiG conference, taking place October 16-19, 2003. (See the conference information in the latter part of this Newsletter. Lodging reservations are to be made directly with the site.) Our next set of three conferences will be at General Butler State Park in Carrollton, Kentucky. This State Resort Park is located on the Ohio River, roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Louisville (circa 1 hour from each) on Interstate 71, between I65 and I 74. It is a convenient drive for many people in the South and Midwest. We will provide the usual limited van service from the Cincinnati airport, but encourage people to also explore fares plus car rental to the Louisville airport, where some Southwest airline flights are much cheaper. The park is atop rolling hills overlooking the river, and has lodge rooms as well as about 20 cabins nestled around a scenic lakeshore. The cottages are located a short but demanding walk from the lodge. The new Conference Center will be booked solely by WiG, and we will have all meals there. There are paths, trails, a golf course, and a few historic Coming This Fall to Your Inbox—The EMailed WiG Newsletter! This Newsletter is one of WiG’s most important means of communication among members, and it has a long tradition of appearing in Wiggies’ mailboxes three times a year. However, we are now finding that the Newsletter represents a significant portion of the organization’s budget. In addition, some members (perish the thought!) have even confessed to letting the Newsletter gather dust on their desks, and have suggested that an e-newsletter would be more ecologically friendly. The Steering Committee therefore decided to slowly implement an electronic WiG Newsletter, which will be e-mailed to members twice a year, with one printed conference issue to appear in the summer. We will be compiling an e-mail address list for the first electronic WiG Newsletter in November of 2003, and are asking you to send your permanent e-mail address to Vibs Petersen at vibs.petersen@drake.edu. If you anticipate that your e-mail address will remain the same for the next year, feel free to send it to her early, so she can begin compiling the list. Make a Donation to the WiG Memorial Fund! The WiG Memorial Fund needs you! The Memorial Fund endows the Zantop Research Travel Support Award, which supports the feminist cultural studies that epitomize the work of our beloved deceased members, particularly including Susanne. More details regarding the Award can be found in this Newsletter. The Women in German Memorial Fund also endows the Women in German Dissertation Prize, awarded annually to the best dissertation by a WiG member. For more information, or to make a donation, please see the flyer at the end of this Newsletter. Women in German Exciting Opportunity for WiG and the Zantop Travel Prize Women in German has been approached by a private non-profit foundation with a chance to earn a matching grant in the amount of $10,000.00 for funding the Zantop Travel Prize. The organization would be required to match this amount by donations within a certain deadline, probably two years. This fund of circa $20,000.00 would become the beginning of an endowment for the Prize. The foundation wishes to remain anonymous. This is an exciting development and opportunity for our organization. It would allow us to give the Travel Prize on a recurring basis and to ensure its continuance in the future. It will be a great development tool for Women in German, because this matching opportunity will show our fiscal responsibility to other donors. It will be a bonus for all graduate students working in feminist German studies to have this Travel Prize as an endowed grant. I presented this opportunity at the business meeting of the Women in German Conference, and there was an immediately outpouring of donations as people reached for their checkbooks. We have already raised approximately $1,000.00 before the arrangement has even been fully negotiated with the foundation. Vibs Petersen, our Treasurer, has already set up a separate account for these donations. I encourage you to think about making a donation, and send it as a check to Vibs Petersen, made out to “Women in German”, designated as the “Zantop Challenge Grant.” Vibs will send the acknowledgement of your tax-deductible contribution. Think big bucks, so that we can harvest this great bounty for our future graduate students. Jeannine Blackwell, WiG President Zantop Research Travel Support Award Inspired by the work of Susanne Zantop, the Zantop Research Travel Support Award is intended to help nurture and sustain research and publication in feminist cultural studies. An expansion of the WiG Memorial Fund, the award provides partial support ($500.00 maximum) for research travel by WiG graduate students. Depending on availability of funds, we plan to award at least one grant per year. 2 Eligibility: Graduate students who have not yet completed the Ph.D. Applicants must be WiG members with a project approved by a faculty advisor for research on a topic in feminist cultural studies that requires travel to consult specific archives, libraries, cultural centers, or authors. Criteria for Selection: Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria: • Feminist approach, content, or interdisciplinary focus on materials concerning women and feminist issues; • Originality of project and promise of scholarly contribution; • Involvement of candidate in feminist activities and organizations; • Clear goal regarding purpose of and demonstrated need for travel; • Qualifications for completing the project; a clear and realistic plan for completion; • Supporting documents; • Clarity and detail of the proposal. How to Apply: Applications should include the following items: • A statement of no more than three pages, which should articulate the applicant’s research question(s), explain why travel to the specified site(s) is necessary, and describe their qualifications for successful completion of the research; • A one-page budget statement listing the projected cost of travel to the site. The amount of the travel cost requested from WiG, and support anticipated from other sources must be provided. Applications that include matching funds from other sources will be especially competitive; • One letter of support from a faculty advisor addressing the applicant’s qualifications and how the project meets the award criteria; • A copy of the applicant’s CV.

Women in German 6 AATG 2002, November 22-24, Salt Lake City, UT see Ganschow & Schneider, 1995; Ganschow, Sparks, Javorksy, 1998; Schneider, 1999) Women in German Session: “Teaching with the Disabled in the Foreign Language Classroom” Organized by Sonja Fritzsche (Illinois Wesleyan University) “Initiatives in Educating Foreign Language Faculty about Teaching Students with Disabilities” Rasma Lazda, University of Alabama Helga Thorson, University of Arkansas at Little Rock "Teaching the Disabled a Foreign Language: A Critical Overview of Recent Research in the Field with a Special Focus on Students with Dyslexia." In their presentation, Helga Thorson and Rasma Lazda discussed two separate campus initiatives focusing on foreign language learning and disability: Project Pace at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and revisions in the course substitution policy at Baylor University. The ultimate goal of each of these projects was to educate foreign language faculty on issues related to teaching students with disabilities. The presenters discussed the importance of several key factors when tackling these issues on campus: (1) the importance of discipline-specific information, (2) the importance of having foreign language educators work together with the disability office on campus, and (3) the importance of delegating responsibility. Elke Schneider, SUNY College at Fredonia Elke Schneider, a linguist and Learning Disability specialist, provided foreign language educators with introductory information about (1) important legal aspects and service implications of the term "language learning disabilities" (LLD) and common characteristics of such disabilities; (2) an overview of research-based instructional methods and their underlying principles, which have been applied successfully in remediating LLD in the native language (English) for the past 60 years-- a kind of teaching referred to as "multisensory, structured, (metacognitive) language (MS[M]L) instruction; (3) a summary of 10 years of research findings related to the "Linguistic Coding Differences Hypothesis (LCDH)" coined by Ganschow and Sparks, which proves that weaknesses in language processing in the first language will reoccur in the second or foreign language, most likely in the areas of phonology/ orthography and syntax, but also in semantics and sometimes pragmatics (for an overview of the research see Ganschow, Sparks, & Javorsky, 1998), and (4) the latest consequences for the field of foreign language education and foreign language learning since the outcome of the Boston University Law Suit in the late 1990's. Overall, the presentation provided support for interested foreign language educators in implementing features of research-based MSML instruction in their foreign language classes, and in making sure that tutors receive training in these principles, thus rendering them more effective in their services to struggling students with identified learning disabilities as well as to unidentified at-risk learners. Those struggling students who are willing to learn and invest the extra effort, deserve to receive first class professional services in Foreign Language education. This is possible through MSML instruction. For more information on how to implement MSML principles in Foreign Language classrooms and an overview of supporting research, Helga Thorson described her involvement in Project Pace at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Project Pace began in 1999 with a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, and has been extended for another three years. The main goals of the project are (1) the establishment of a faculty Resource Council which consists of two members from every department on campus who act as liaisons between academic departments and the disability support services on campus and (2) the development of faculty resources and discipline-specific information. A three-person team from the Division of International and Second Language Studies put together a Faculty Handbook for Teaching Students with Disabilities. This discipline-specific handbook was distributed to all foreign language faculty members on campus. It addresses a range of topics including frequently asked questions (What provisions should be included in the course syllabus regarding the accommodation of students with disabilities? What if a student announces a disability after a test? When would a requested accommodation be considered unreasonable? etc.); a description of both physical accommodations (classroom space, the layout of the language lab) and access to material (textbooks, ancillary material, Websites, etc.); and a review of the research that has been done on teaching foreign languages to students with learning disabilities. 7 Rasma Lazda discussed the process that was established at Baylor University to address the need for accommodating students with, disabilities while at the same time satisfying the university’s commitment to teaching foreign languages. The director of the Office of Access and Learning Accommodation approached the department of Modern Foreign Languages to collaborate on decisions regarding accommodations for students with learning disabilities. A Foreign Language Committee was formed, and faculty members educated themselves on the law, including lawsuits pertaining to learning disabilities; on learning disabilities in general, as well as the specifics of a language-based learning disability (mostly dyslexia); on the possibility of a specific foreign language learning disability; and on successful case studies and methods for teaching students with a learning disability. Besides establishing a working procedure for substitutions, the process produced a rationale as to why the study of a world language is an integral part of the education at Baylor University. The individual rights of students with a learning disability for reasonable accommodations are thus met while at the same time enforcing the academic standards established by the university. The rationale serves subsequently as a mission statement for the Department of Modern Foreign Languages, and was voted on by all foreign language faculty. If a substitution is requested, the Dean of Arts and Sciences, the director of the Office of Access and Learning Accommodation and the Modern Foreign Language Committee will develop an individual education plan for each student who files a petition with the Dean’s office. “Helping the ADD Language Learner” Ann McGlashan, Baylor University Ann McGlashan began by presenting a definition of Attention Deficit Disorder and by describing some difficulties that students with ADD have in language learning. McGlashan then focused on an analysis of the manner in which language textbooks might be constructed in order to accommodate students with ADD. McGlashan’s analysis was based in part on personal experience, since she herself has ADD, and on experiences with a number of ADD students in her classes. Acknowledging the drawbacks of Aufenthalt in Deutschland, McGlashan praised the compact textbook for its many short chapters, each with a brief reading passage and only a handful of vocabulary words and grammar points. Such structure helps to hold the interest of an ADD person. Women in German In contrast, today’s large texts and complex grammar books, filled with illustrations and communicative exercises, overwhelm students who are easily distracted. The many supplemental materials provide so much information that ADD students find them hard to keep track of. In addition such students are distracted by the multi-layered information on a page (e.g. illustrations or notes in the margins) to the point that they are unable to identify what is important. Consequently, these students never feel a sense of satisfaction in having thoroughly learned what was expected. McGlashan urges textbook authors to address the needs of ADD language learners and believes these changes will benefit all language students.

Guided by a more poetic outlook on life, she has created a mosaic of careers for herself. In Germany, she worked as an editor and writer under the name Angela Jurinek-Stinner in the field of education and language training (Max Hueber Verlag, Munich). After completing a Dr.phil. No one sent any clicks, fascinating or otherwise, since the last Fascinating Clicks column. What’s a Online Resources editor to do?!? Instead of despairing as the deadline approached, I decided to amuse myself. What would happen if I did a search on topics of interest to Wiggies on Google? (www.google.com is the best search engine around.) The number two link occupied WIGS, Women in German Studies from the UK http://www.wigs.ac.uk/ Our sister organization’s website includes announcements of upcoming conferences, including their September 2003 9 Women in German conference on “Local Narratives/Global Narrative of Identity.” If you are interested in reading their online discussions, the site has an archive of postings on their email listserv. Number three was “Sophie, the Digital Library of early German women’s writing” http://humanities.byu.edu/sophie/home.htm already reviewed in the first Online Resources Column Fall 2001 (available online on the womeningerman.org archive). The Deutsche Welle bilingual (GermanEnglish) website recently announced an event which included the terms “German” and “women” http://www.dw-world.de/english/ listed a recent feature on an exhibition in Bonn on women’s role in war, a particularly relevant exhibition given the present situation in Iraq. The site also features a complete archive of its coverage of the war in Iraq, and can be useful as a source of non-US coverage. Then I went on a hunt for websites further afield. The search for keywords “Frauen” and “Deutsch” yielded a bizarre set of links worth mentioning because of their humor value (an antidote to depressing war coverage). The links in this search included Hugh Grant interviews in which he is quoted (translated) as saying “Ich finde es sexy, wenn Frauen deutsch sprechen” (no comment), a website proclaiming itself to be a site celebrating Hippy women (I could not discern what this had to do with Frauen and Deutsch unfortunately), and a Photoshop artist’s image of a “Langenscheid’s Frauen-Deutsch, Deutsch-Frauen” dictionary (http://janus.errornet.de/images/view/jpg/fun/frauendeutsch).

Katrin Sieg. Ethnic Drag: Performing Race, Nation, Sexuality in West Germany. Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, 2002. $54.50. Katrin Sieg offers a theoretically sophisticated and complex study of ethnic drag in postwar West German culture. The focus on ethnic drag allows Sieg to investigate the “continuities, permutations, and contradictions of racial feelings in West German culture” (2). Ethnic drag, a composite term that is indebted to critical race studies and queer studies connotes theoretical discussions in the respective fields on mimesis and mimicry, on the one hand, and camp and drag, on the other. Sieg analyzes those drag acts that reproduce hegemonic racial discourses of dominant culture and those that challenge essentialist notions of racial and ethnic identity. The multiplicity of political functions of ethnic drag also challenges queer studies’ understanding of performativity as inherently subversive. Sieg’s detailed, historically specific study of theatrical practices offers a way out of the binary of essentialism and performativity precisely because of drag’s double referent to anatomical given and social role. Ethnic Drag contributes to the field of German Studies a complex account of postwar German representation of race and ethnicity. The scope of the analysis is only limited by the geographical and historical parameter of West Germany, yet Sieg even exceeds those parameters. For example, she discusses Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’s 1779 Nathan the Wise in the context of Jewish impersonation and different theatrical stagings, from a 1933 performance by an all-Jewish ensemble in Nazi Berlin to West German philosemitic stagings in the 1950s. The first chapter singularly exemplifies Sieg’s meticulous research of stage and production history that enables her to account for the shifting political significance of racial embodiment and masquerade. Sieg accords the same theoretical depth to high and popular culture. She views the adaptations of Karl May’s Winnetou in its different versions of performance in Bad Segeberg as drag shows and thus is able to “restore both the hegemonic and the subversive dimension of ethnic drag” (85). She reads Women in German the interracial melodramas performed at Bad Segeberg as revealing postwar West Germany’s phantasmatic self-representation, and suggests that the genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany was displaced to the American frontier, reproducing West German politicians’ rhetoric of Germans as victims of the foreign occupation. Sieg’s intriguing discussion of the subculture of German hobbyists who enact their diverse ideas of American Indianness relies on interviews with individual club participants. Her findings call into question the Frankfurt School’s depiction of passive consumers of the culture industries. The book’s discussion of ethnic drag in such diverse texts as Max Frisch’s play Andorra (1961), Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s film Katzelmacher (1968), Gerhard Kromschröder’s journalistic report Als ich ein Türke war (When I was a Turk, 1983), Kerstin Specht’s play Lila (1990), Hubert Fichte’s radio plays San Pedro Claver (1975) and Großes Auto für San Pedro Claver (Great Act for Saint Pedro Claver, 1980), Ulrike Ottinger’s film Johanna d’Arc of Mongolia (1989), Native American theatre company Spiderwoman’s play Winnetou’s Snake Oil Show from Wigwam City (1988) and Emine Sevgi Özdamar’s play Keloglan in Alamania (1991) bespeak the range of political use to which ethnic drag has been put, as well as the range of interpretative readings, with which Sieg traces her object of study. Ethnic Drag exceeds several binaries that structure German Studies: the divide between texts by minorities and those authors identified as German, the divide between popular culture and high culture, and the divide between history and theory. The result is an important book for all those who participate in the attempt to provide a theoretically sophisticated and historically detailed account of how concepts of identity shape German postwar culture, often in contradictory ways.

To this end, we sponsor the annual WiG conference, distribute a quarterly newsletter, publish an annual journal, and confer an annual prize for the best dissertation. The dissertation prize is funded from the Women in German Memorial Fund, established in 1993 to honor the memory of Sydna “Bunny” Weiss, whose loyalty and contributions to WiG were inspirational to all those who knew and worked with her. As the membership lost other dear friends, Sigrid Brauner, Ann Clark Fehn, Konstanze Bäumer, Marilyn Sibley Fries, and Susanne Zantop, the fund was rededicated to the memory of all treasured WiG members now deceased. In awarding the annual prize to the dissertation that best reflects the values of Women in German, we honor past members’ devotion to excellence in feminist scholarship and to WiG as an organization. Besides continuing the annual dissertation prize, we want to increase the memorial fund in order to expand our activities, reach a wider audience, and support younger members of the profession. Our most loyal source of funding has always been our membership, and we invite you to contribute at a level that is comfortable for you. WiG has been recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Thus, contributions to WiG are tax-deductible.
