Chinese-German Poetry Dialogues: Approaches to Chinese Poetry from Expressionism to the Present

25.10.2024 | 16:00 - 17:30
Chinese-German Poetry Dialogues

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.

The event will take place on October 25, 16:00-17:30 (Central European Summer Time), and you are all warmly welcome to attend.
