Anna Katharina Schaffner
Forschungsinteressen: Avant-garde literature / Nineteenth-century sexology / Kafka, Thomas Mann / David Lynch
University of Kent (Großbritannien)
Before taking up a post in Comparative Literature at Kent in 2007, I studied General and Comparative Literature and English and American Studies in Berlin, and then completed both my MSc and my PhD on avant-garde literature at the University of Edinburgh. During and after my PhD studies, I worked first as research assistant and then as Post-Doctoral Researcher in an AHRC-funded project on the European avant-garde in art, literature and film.
I work on the literature of transgression, both from a linguistic/stylistic and a thematic point of view. I have published a monograph on language dissection in avant-garde, concrete and digital poetry, as well as articles on Dada, experimental poetry, David Lynch, Franz Kafka, Frank Schulz, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Thomas Mann and nineteenth-century sexology. I recently completed a monograph entitled Modernism and Perversion: Sexual Deviance in Sexology and Literature, 1850-1930. This study charts the construction of the sexual perversions in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century medical, psychiatric and psychological discourse. It argues that the sexologists’ preoccupation with the perversions is a response to specifically modern concerns, and illuminates the role played by literary texts in the formation of sexological knowledge. The book concludes with an analysis of how key literary modernists revalorize the perversions into figures of cultural redemption.
From 2008 to 2011, I was a Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded 'Beyond Text' project Poetry beyond Text: Vision, Text and Cognition, in the context of which my colleagues and I investigated issues related to the cognitive processes involved when reading and interpreting space in visual poetry. In the Autumn Term 2010, I was Sylvia Naish Fellow at the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of London. In August and September 2011, I was a Visiting Scholar at St John's College, Oxford.
I am currently working on a cultural history of exhaustion.

Forschungsinteressen: Modern Central European Cultural History / German-Jewish Identity and Culture / History of Sexuality / Habsburg History / Modernism
University of Michigan (USA)
Scott Spector continues his studies in the cultural history of modern Central Europe. His varied research and teaching interests revolve around problems of the relations between ideology and culture, approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. In particular his interests have included: German-speaking Jewish writers and thinkers, sexuality and culture, nationalism, the politics of historiography, and the dialogue between film and historical representation. His two current book projects include a study of the creation of marginal figures (homosexuals, eroticized women, Jewish ritual murderers) in the scientific and sensational culture of fin-de-siècle Vienna and Berlin, and a collection of essays on German-Jewish subjectivity and its histories.

Forschungsinteressen: British psychiatry in the 19th and 20th centuries / Medical responses to sexual crime / Criminology in Britain, especially ideas of criminal responsibility
University of London (Großbritannien)
My current research towards a PhD in history explores medical approaches to 'sexual deviance' in twentieth-century Britain. This looks at the introduction of diagnostic systems and therapies within prisons and private clinics to 'cure' sexual offenders, the influence of the courtroom and theories of crime and punishment, and the reactions of 'patients' to their treatment.

Noëmi Willemen
Forschungsinteressen: Pédophilie / Psychiatrie / DSM / Critères diagnostiques
Université catholique de Louvain (Belgien)
I studied Modern History at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Family and Sexuality Studies at the Université Catholique de Louvain. I now work as a teaching assistant and a member the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Families and Sexualities at UCLouvain. I am preparing a doctoral dissertation on the social and scientific construction of a concept: an argumentative analysis of paedophilia. This research explores the conceptual history of paraphilias in general and paedophilia in particular. The purpose of this research is to study how the category of paedophilia and its diagnostic criteria evolved since the emergence of modern psychiatry in 19th century Europe, as well as the interplay with social representations of adult sexual attraction to children and political, judicial, media and (!) counter discourses.
