Interdisciplinary Conference Glocal Places of Literature: Production – Distribution – Reception, June 28-30, 2018 at the University of Göttingen In times of global deterritorialization and transnational cultural exchange, the prominence of local places of production and reception has become more, rather than less, significant. This conference intends to explore if the local and the global can still be perceived as conflicting concepts. Produced locally, but often distributed and read globally, are literary cultures characterized by the ways in which the global and the local interact and add to "glocal" practices? To learn more about the ways in which this conference will investigate the shifting interconnection between literatures and place in the twenty-first century on three intersecting planes – literary production, distribution, and reception – please see the conference website.
