Anne Enderwitz is a lecturer at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg . She is also a PhD student at University College London where she held a Marie-Curie Fellowship from 2005-2007. Her PhD thesis ‘Modernist Melancholia: Freud, Conrad, and Ford' aims at identifying a specifically ‘modernist' melancholia which finds expression in a particular relation to time as well as in the way the text negotiates language and representation. Anne Enderwitz's interest in the productivity of loss as that which constitutes the space of some narratives situates her thesis firmly in the context of the relation between literary modernism and poststructuralist theories.
Anne Enderwitz is also interested in Gender and postcolonial theory, theories of memory, and in the life sciences of the 19 th century. In her work, she also focuses on intersections between literature, culture, and philosophy.

Doris Feldmann - Research and Teaching Profile
Doris Feldmann is Professor of English Literature and Culture at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Her research and teaching areas cover English literature and culture from the Renaissance to the present with special emphasis on the complex relations between literature and other discourses (economic, philosophical, political etc.) and media (digital media, film). She has, e.g., written a monograph on Politik und Fiktion (1995), translated Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor (1992, 1996) and coedited Anglistik im Internet (1997).
Her articles are informed by the theories of both cultural and gender studies. This is also true of a more recent concern with the overlapping of various categories of difference (cf. the special issue of the Journal for the Study of British Cultures on 'Transdifference' from 2006). Part of her research is carried out in the context of the Graduate College 'Cultural Hermeneutics' at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg of which she has been chairperson since 2001. She is currently working on a translation of Gayatri Ch. Spivak's A Critique of Postcolonial Reason .
