Literature workshop
Abstracts and presentation materials can be found here.
*********************************************************
The literature workshop concentrates on the contemporary literature of Finno-Ugric minorities and its translation. The winners of the Mafun literature contest are asked to tell about what they have written in their own mother tongue. Other participants can tell about their own literal production in some Finno-Ugric language, translation to or from a minority language or about a contemporary author writing in a minority language.
As well as presentations of approximately 15 minutes, we expect general discussion to take place and possibly translation as group work. We ask the participants to send their own texts and/or translations as well as a short (max. 2000 characters) abstract about themselves as writers or about the writer about whom they are going to tell by 21/4 to ifusco2008@ifusco.info. The presentation and the abstract should be in different languages, of which at least one is a Finno-Ugric language.
