Chinese-German Poetry Dialogues
This talk, based on Sara Landa's new book Chinesisch-deutsche Lyrikdialoge (De Gruyter 2023), analyzes how German-speaking poetry translators in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries entered into dialogue with Chinese poetry - and used their position of distance to explore new paths within their own poetry. It demonstrates the study of Chinese poetry has provided numerous German poets with opportunities to explore aesthetics approaches and to sound out social and political positions.
