Dr. Juliane Schicker published three new peer-reviewed publications. Her teaching guide to the East German film Die Architekten, co-written with Carol Anne Costabile-Heming of the University of North Texas, was released with the DEFA Film Library. Teaching guides help instructors in a variety of classroom settings use films that speak directly to issues that concern students and other young people today. Each guide includes background information, interpretations, classroom activities and more. Juliane also published her article titled “The Concert Hall as Agonistic Public Space: The Gewandhaus in Leipzig” in New German Critique, an interdisciplinary journal of German studies. The article deals with questions of the sociopolitical involvement of classical music performance spaces in the German Democratic Republic. Her third article, “Gender, Sex, and the Socialist Personality in Herrmann Zschoche’s Sieben Sommersprossen (1978)” was published in Feminist German Studies. It looks into ways in which the DEFA youth film Sieben Sommersprossen presents social norms pertaining to gender equality, relationships, and sexual intimacy and how those norms reflect on the concept of the socialist personality.
