This international workshop focuses on cultural mediators between Belgium and Central Europe. It aims to examine the European transfer of Belgian modernism (1870-1940) and to explore contemporary concepts of cultural theory from a historical perspective.
As the inaugural event within the framework of the PDR project "La Belgique 'lue' en allemand et en tchèque" (UCLouvain/ULB), the workshop seeks to open a preliminary dialogue on the reception of Belgian literature and culture through a triangular lens that includes Czech and German-speaking cultural contexts. It brings together scholars from a range of European universities and institutions.
