| Migration and literatures
|
| "The literature of the 21st century will to a large extent be literature without a fixed abode", Prof. Ottmar Ette already stated in 2005. Global migratory movements have always existed, and they will increase significantly. Authors, too, are travelling more and more often. How do the changes of location and language affect their literary work? What do terms such as "home" and "origin" mean these days? At the Litprom Literature Days on January 24 and 25, 20 participants, including three Canadian authors, explored these questions.
