استادیار · 18th-20th Century German and Comparative Literature
University of Virginiaمعرفی
Julia Gutterman serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of German Studies at the University of Virginia, specializing in German literary traditions from the 18th century to contemporary works with interdisciplinary connections to disability and multilingual studies.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD from Yale University
- MA from the University of Amsterdam
- BA from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Dr. Gutterman's research critically examines intersections of language, identity, and historical trauma in German literature. Her work spans 18th-20th Century German and Comparative Literature, Contemporary German Literature, Disability Studies, Literary Multilingualism, and German-Jewish Literature, with particular focus on marginalized voices and linguistic hybridity. This multifaceted approach reveals how literary forms negotiate cultural memory and embodied experience across historical periods.
Her 2023 publication in German Quarterly exemplifies her methodological approach, analyzing Annette von Droste-Hülshoff's poetry through frameworks of authorship erasure and memory studies. This work reflects broader scholarly trends in re-examining canonical German literature through disability and multilingual lenses, while connecting 19th-century textual practices to contemporary questions of representation.
Dr. Gutterman actively contributes to academic discourse through teaching diverse courses including New Voices in German, Black German Literatures, and German Jewish Culture and History, alongside significant translation work of Gertrud Kolmar's poetry that bridges historical and contemporary German literary traditions.
