Literatures of the World

The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and the Art and Exhibition Hall regularly invite the recipients of the Berlin Samuel Fischer Guest Professorship to Bonn to take a position on current cultural and political issues in readings and discussions. The Austrian author Marlene Streeruwitz opened this series with a lecture on public linguistic use in debates following September 11, 2001. Further guests included Robert Hass (U.S.A.), Yann Martel (Canada), Alberto Manguel (Argentina), Etgar Keret (Israel), and Feridun Zaimoglu (Turkey).

The Samuel Fischer Guest Professorship serves to convey and critically reflect on world literature. It was established in 1998 by DAAD, the event forum of the publishing group George von Holtzbrinck, the S. Fischer publishing house, and the Seminar for General and Comparative Literature at the Free University of Berlin. For the length of one semester, international literary scholars open up new perspectives outside the beaten academic track and mediate literature live.
