The event is held in English, admission is free.
Clementine Burnley, Dirk Laucke and Daniela Seel will discuss the political potential that lies at the heart of literature, chaired by FSGS alumna Iulia Dondorici.
When is it activated? Is it in the process of writing, or in its reception from the individual reader? What interests do publishers have in shoring up or underplaying the political potentiality of work? What responsibility does research and academia have in assessing the political aspect of a piece of literature? How is political literature or politics in literature received today by contemporary authors, readers and publishers?
Please register by June 30, 2019: studhk@fsgs.fu-berlin.de.
We look forward to your participation!
This public discussion is organized in the context of the FSGS-Summer School “The Politics of Literature – Literature and Politics” and in cooperation with the Cluster of Excellence 2020 “Temporal Communities”.
