A Dialogue between Readers, Writers, Publishers and Academics
The guests in this public talk will be discussing the political potential that lies at the heart of literature. 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?
