Angelika Bammer
Ph.D., Comparative Literature, Wisconsin-Madison, 1982

Reseach Interests

Narrative and theories of representation, historical memory, nation and cultural identity, feminist and Marxist theory.

Dr. Bammer's work began with an interest in the utopian possibilities of the not-yet (the non-place), then moved to a study of the reality of displacement in the contemporary world, and is currently focused on the shifting meaning of place in our understanding of selves-in-communities.
