Session Submission Type: Panel
The panel studies various ways of performing history and trauma in fiction. It focuses on strategies writers use to perform, in fiction, the complex legacy of 20th century dictatorships in Central Europe. It goes from the literature of the German occupation period, through the 1970s and its dissident movements in Central Europe and finishes with the post-1989 literary responses to the 20th century history in Central Europe and the legacy of communist dictatorship.
