Czech literature and Czech Studies Beyond Europe and America

Who are the most read writers from the Czech lands in Arabic, Vietnamese or Chinese, and how exactly are their works received? Who are their translators and what are their working conditions in environments where – in comparison with Europe and North America – Czech Studies as a field developed later, if at all? What are the challenges of translating Czech writers, and how is contemporary literature promoted? How is Czech literature read among Czech expat communities?

A round table on the occasion of the sixth congress of world literary scientific Czech Studies (6kongres.info) bringing together the perspectives of Czech Studies experts from abroad and translators from Czech. Ondřej Vimr of the Institute of Czech Literature at the Czech Academy of Sciences will speak with Kenichi Abe, Markéta Pilátová, Binh Slavická and other guests.
