NaVýchod Magazine: Martin C. Putna and Radko Mokryk – What is Central Europe?
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: September 10, 2018, 19:00 – 21:00
The states that more than a quarter-century ago emerged from the so-called “socialist camp” are today looking for their own identities. What is Central Europe? What kind of future awaits Poland and Hungary? What events on Europe’s eastern borders influence goings-on on the continent? And where does Czechia actually belong?
The literary historian and professor Martin C. Putna, who this year published Obrazy z kulturních dějin Střední Evropy (Pictures from the Cultural History of Central Europe) via the Vyšehrad imprint and has travelled around the countries of the former Hapsburg empire, from Vienna to Galicia and the Balkans, will discuss Central and Eastern Europe. The debate will be accompanied by a presentation of the latest issue of the magazine NaVýchod.
Radko Mokryk of the Department of Eastern European Studies at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts, and an editor at NaVýchod, will speak with Martin C. Putna.
