More Fiction in Berlin

The Netzwerk Fiktion is meeting again this week for another workshop in Berlin. The meeting also includes two public lectures:

Richard J. Gerrig:
Experiencing Narrative Worlds
Thursday, 20. January 2011, 18.00 h
Room L 113, Habelschwerdter Allee 45 (Silberlaube)

Klaus W. Hempfer:
[titre à preciser]; talk still to be confirmed
Friday, 21. January 2001, 12.00 h
Room L 113, Habelschwerdter Allee 45 (Silberlaube)

Richard J. Gerrig is a psycholinguist at SUNY, while Klaus W. Hempfer is a Romance Philologist at FU Berlin, and both have contributed controversial and thought-provoking ideas to the current debate on fiction. If you’re in Berlin and interested, do drop in.

The Netzwerk Fiktion is founded and organized by Remigius Bunia, Junior Professor for Comparative Literature at FU Berlin. This will be the fifth workshop of its kind, and I am happy to say it is the third that I will participate in. The fourth workshop last summer has been extremely fruitful and inspiring. Apart from the two public lectures, this workshop will have four more presentations from colleagues in the Netzwerk Fiktion, every single one of which sounds exciting, so I’m very much looking forward to this.

Update: The talk by Klaus Hempfer has just been cancelled.
