Description
Authors from Poland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein will participate in readings/festivals; they will write texts on the Transgressions theme which will later be published. Discussions, meetings, workshops to sum up the project will be organized at the 10th International Short Story Festival. The project is to shape the attitude of acceptance for cultural differences and act against stereotypes, as well as initiate intercultural dialogue. Texts and readings will allow the recipient to see oneself in a different existential and civilizational perspectives, which are often strange and incomprehensible. Literary texts will be selected to present current social situation of the countries they were written in. They will include contemporary European contexts and literary trends. The main idea is to create cultural facts of a common, coginitive, communicative character – and the project does include the activities aiming at creating the need for a competent participation in the cultural life of other European communities.
