Poetry in conversation, reVERSible • 2022-06-21, 6:00 PM
READING AND TALK WITH REVERSIBLE AUTHORS – 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.
