Third Thomas Mann Lecture – Save the date
In 2019, Prof. Dr Rüdiger Görner of the Queen Mary University of London will be a guest speaker at ETH Zurich for the lecture series on Thomas Mann. He will be speaking on the topic «Sich ins Bild rücken und es beim Wort nehmen. Thomas Mann und die visuelle Medialität» (in German).
How did one of the giants of 20th century literature create a media presence?
The lecture shows that Thomas Mann's irony became visible not only in his work, but also in his handling of visual media.
