CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, whose 200th birthday will be celebrated this year, is probably the most prominent icon jointly claimed by Germans and Australians.  He has challenged the imagination of Australians and Germans ever since he ‘disappeared’ without a trace in the centre of the Australian continent on his third voyage in 1848.  Leichhardt’s reputation and significance have shifted with the politics and national sentiment expressed across differentepochs and political settings, Australian and German, as he has ranged fromhero, to madman, from Nazi icon to East German humanist par excellence.  This one-day symposium takes Leichhardt’s anniversary as an opportunity to re-investigate and interrogate more deeply his many legacies.


We invite presentations on the following themes:


·      Leichhardt’s body and texts

·      Cultural productions and Leichhardt

·      Leichhardt and narratives of nation

·      Leichhardt in the popular imagination

·      Material Leichhardtiana

·      Indigenous people and Leichhardt

·      Leichhardt as an historical figure

·      The trope of disappearance in Australian or German culture
