Research project(s): The Cartography of the Political Novel in Europe
The workshop examines how asymmetries between European centers and peripheries are articulated in explicitly political terms by the political novel. It investigates the question of what formal and textual features are common of literary centers on the one hand and peripheries on the other, as well as the question of how literary centers and peripheries respond to political novels.
