The Russian Studies programme is organising the international conference Russophone Literature of the Fifth Wave: Problems, Challenges, and New Opportunities. Researchers from various countries will examine the impact of the fifth wave of Russian emigration – caused by the war in Ukraine – on the production and distribution of Russian-language literature outside Russia.
The conference will discuss topics such as:
· Anti-war poetry and prose
· Emigration, displacement and guilt
· New literary infrastructures abroad
· Publication and distribution of literature in exile
A special round-table discussion with émigré Russian-language publishers is also on the programme. The working languages of the conference are English and Russian.
