Fifth Thomas Mann Lecture

This year, ETH Zurich’s Thomas Mann Lecture will once again be held as a virtual event, with Professor Judith Ryan joining us live from Harvard University. Her lecture, “Thomas Mann and crowd psychology” will be held in German. Simultaneous interpretation into English will be provided. In her lecture, Professor Ryan discusses how Thomas Mann analysed contemporary theories of crowd psychology in his novella Mario and the Magician, and how an understanding of mass psychology phenomena was already apparent in his first novel, Buddenbrooks.
