Conference: Transformations of Shoah Trauma in Post-2000 Literatures, Palacký University Olomouc
The Palacký University Olomouc (Center for Jewish Studies, Department of Czech Studies, Department of Dutch Studies) in cooperation with the Catholic University in Lublin (International Centre for Research of the History and Cultural Heritage of the Central and Eastern European Jews) and the Royal Holloway, University of London (Holocaust Research Institute) invite submissions for an international conference that seeks to examine how the legacy of the Shoah continues to shape literary expression today, tracing its global trajectories. It will explore multilingual perspectives, comparative readings, and transnational approaches to the subject. Additionally, the conference will address the evolving role of testimony in an era without first-generation witnesses, the impact of digital and multimedia storytelling, and the ways in which contemporary literature negotiates the boundaries of fiction, memoir, and historical documentation. By bringing together scholars and writers, this event aims to foster dialogue on the ongoing relevance of Shoah narratives in global cultural memory and their transformative impact on post-2000 literature across and beyond linguistic and national borders.
The conference takes place on November 5-6, 2025, at Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Deadline for submissions: August 31, 2025 | DETAIL
