What is "exile literature"? Is it literature that explores the theme of exile or literature written in exile? Can literature even be summarized under the term "exile"? And who actually defines what exile is?


Journalist Can Dündar and filmmaker Irene Langemann join author Uwe Wittstock to discuss historical and contemporary perspectives on exile in the literary world, and their effects on the literary sphere as well as society in which they take place.

The event will be held in German and Englisch with simultaneous interpretation.
