How can we build up an archive for asylum and offer these literatures the place they serve in research?
The UCLA Department of European Languages & Transcultural Studies in co-sponsorship with the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies invite you to a lecture by Sandra Richter, Director of Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach. The lecture will take place in person on Monday, March 13, 2023. Lunch and refreshments to follow. Register by March 3, 2023.
Abstract
War and flight endanger the literature of affected countries. Authors struggle to survive. They are unable to write. They lose their libraries, manuscripts, pictures and other valuable objects. In response to these political and social challenges, how can we build up an archive for asylum and offer these literatures the place they serve in research? How can an asylum archive preserve threatened memory? In this public lecture, Professor Sandra Richter will draw upon her directorship at the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach to address these urgent questions for the twenty–first century.
Speaker
Sandra Richter is Director of Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, and a professor at Universität Stuttgart.
