Apply for the FSGS-Summer School 2019 now!
Mar 05, 2019
The Summer School takes place from 24.–27.06.2019 in Leipzig and from 01.–04.07.2019 in Berlin on the topic of “The Politics of Literature – Literature and Politics”. Application Deadline April 2, 2019.
In times of transregional upheavals and the revival of nationalist movements and governments, the debate about literature and the political has gained new momentum. The FSGS Summer School aims to develop new approaches to questions concerning the relationship between literature and politics by rethinking the debate within current political contexts.
Up to 20 participants will first meet in Leipzig to attend the Reading Group “Engagement”, before travelling to Berlin where the Summer School “The Politics of Literature – Literature and Politics” will take place with up to 30 participants. Furthermore, participants are invited to attend the separate, but thematically overlapping conference “Poetic Critique”, held in Berlin from 27.–29.06.2019.
Through discussions, lectures, and workshops with German and international experts, we will attempt to both remap transnational and multilingual perspectives on this discourse as well as develop possible new ways of thinking and analyzing the relations between literature and politics today.
