POETRY IN CONVERSATION REVERSIBLE: Shared language there, German-language here
Talk
READING AND TALK WITH REVERSIBLE AUTHORS
With Bjanka Alajbegović Bosnia and Herzegovina | Daniela Chana Austria | Sascha Garzetti Switzerland | Almin Kaplan Bosnia and Herzegovina
Moderation: Max Czollek, Poet and essayist Germany
Poets from multiethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina will speak with their verse-smuggling partners from the Alpine region about their experiences with multilingualism, dialects, and a “common” language. For example: How do poets who were born shortly before the breakup of Yugoslavia experience a “common” linguistic and cultural space, when concepts of “pure” language are always institutionally and nationally imposed in order to exclude and marginalize? And are the linguistic-political realities in Switzerland and Austria entirely free of conflict? Participants will also be asked about their experiences in the translation workshop Versschmuggel.
Conversation in Bosnian and German.
Project leaders: Sladjana Strunk, Theresa Rüger (Assistenz)
