 A public talk by **[Hana Worthen](https://barnard.edu/profiles/hana-worthen)**, Associate Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University

 Analyzing a wide range of media, from postcards to film to mass performances, Professor Hana Worthen considers how National Socialist world-building politics depended on a pre-digital and corporeal modality of transmediality to create a performative—affective and participatory—mass body through Adolf Hitler’s socio-political “branding.”

 Hana Worthen is Associate Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University, a member of the Ph.D. in Theatre Program, and an affiliate of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society, both at Columbia University; she serves as an Associate Director of Barnard’s Center for Translation Studies as well. Her publications include *Playing Nordic: The Women of Niskavuori, Agri/Culture, and Imagining Finland on the Third Reich Stage* (University of Helsinki, 2007), a co-edited anthology *Finland's Holocaust: Silences of History* (Palgrave, 2013), and scholarly articles appearing in major professional journals, such as *Contemporary Theatre Review*, *TDR: The Drama Review*, *Modern Drama*, *Theatre Journa*l, *Theatre Topics*, and *East European Jewish Affairs*. She has two forthcoming monographs, *Unwriting Theatre: Humanism, Drama, Performance* (Palgrave Macmillan), and *Shakespeare Among Military Veterans* (Cambridge University Press).
