SUMMARY:Jonas Rosenbrück, "Common Scents: On Brecht's Revolution of the Senses"
DESCRIPTION:Jonas Rosenbrück, Assistant Professor of German at Amherst College, will present "Common Scents: On Brecht's Revolution of the Senses."  Professor Rosenbrück is currently completing his first book, titled <em>Common Scents: Poetry, Modernity, and a Revolution of the Senses</em>, which traces the various poetological functions of smell and its erasure in the modern age through Hölderlin, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Brecht, and Ponge. His work has been published in <em>Comparative Literature</em>, <em>CR: The New Centennial Review</em>, and <em>The Germanic Review</em>, among other venues. He recently began work on a new project titled <em>Toward a Critique of Geschlecht: Masculinity, Generation, and Germanophone Literatures After Fascism</em>, which investigates the racialized and gendered formations of post-war Germany’s body politic. Prior to coming to Amherst, Professor Rosenbrück worked with Northwestern University’s Prison Education Program as Director of Volunteer Development.   The German Studies Seminar is sponsored by the Mahindra Humanities Center.
