Cultural exploration: An evening of Taiwanese literature
SWPS University's Department of Asian Studies recognizes the importance of broadening our literary horizons. We are pleased to invite you to attend a meeting with experts in Taiwanese literature, organized in collaboration with Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
Taiwanese literature has remained relatively unexplored in the Polish literary scene, mainly due to the limited availability of works translated into Polish. However, our upcoming event aims to address this gap by introducing two new books on the topic, published in Polish by Officyna: Tajwan na końcu języka. Współczesne opowiadania tajwańskie (Taiwan on the tip of the tongue: Contemporary Taiwanese Short Stories) and Przewodnik po historii literatury Tajwanu (Guide to the History of Taiwanese Literature). Both publications will be available during our meeting.
Our esteemed guests, including sinologist Professor Maciej Gaca, Professor Fu-sheng Shih from Soochow University in Taiwan, writer and translator Min-de Ang, and Eryk Hajndrych, translator of the book Przewodnik po historii literatury Tajwanu , will explore various facets of the captivating world of Taiwanese literature.
The event will be conducted in English.
