Johanna Domokos
Multilingual poet Johanna Domokos, author of The wanderers female song and other lyric collections, explores how to cut through languages, times and spaces of this and other worlds, and how to experience poetry not only through understanding the words of it. Her writing is influenced by oral literatures in several Turkic and Finno-Ugric traditions and many contemporary literatures she has met as a wanderer (previously called a nomad).
0920 GMT/1020 London Time/1120 Berlin, Budapest, and Belgrade Time/1220 Bucharest, Helsinki, and Ankara Time/2020 Sydney Time
Marianna Deganutti
Literary scholar Marianna Deganutti focuses on multilingual borderland poetry by Jani Oswald, Daniel Načinović and Milan Rakovac, reflecting the multicultural societies of the Alp-Adriatic region. This borderland today includes Austria (Carinthia and Styria), Italy (Friuli Venezia Giulia), Slovenia and Croatia. The multilingual practices of the authors stimulate a redefinition of the area and of the borderland space, which cannot be understood only through national paradigms.
0940 GMT/1040 London Time/1140 Berlin, Budapest, and Belgrade Time/1240 Bucharest, Helsinki, and Ankara Time/2040 Sydney Time
Sabira Ståhlberg
Writer and scholar Sabira Ståhlberg’s poetry book Wan Sun presents the Anthropocene from a multidimensional perspective. The dozens of languages in the poems carry messages, melodies and echoes from different cultural and poetic traditions in Eurasia, both present and historical. Some poems are graphic illustrations with words, creating art within literature, and others are concise poems, opening the eyes of the reader to the many possibilities multilingual literature carries.
1000 GMT/1100 London Time/1200 Berlin, Budapest, and Belgrade Time/1300 Bucharest, Helsinki, and Ankara Time/2100 Sydney Time
Renat Bekkin
Renat Bekkin, scholar and author of several novels, including the recent novel Ak Bure, explores in his new book the history of three generations of Crimean Tatars in Tashkent, Kazan, Moscow and Crimea during a turbulent period. The young hero Iskander has to make difficult decisions in the face of challenges and illusions. This family saga is a story of magic realism, history and finding your own place in the world. (in English and Russian)
1020 GMT/1120 London Time/1220 Berlin, Budapest, and Belgrade Time/1320 Bucharest, Helsinki, and Ankara Time/2120 Sydney Time
Fazile Nasretdin
Haiku poet Fazile Nasretdin writes short poetry in several languages – Tatar, Finnish, Swedish, Turkish and English among them. Her poetry is both traditional haiku describing nature and observations of human experiences. Through the poems and the author’s eyes the readers look into a world of wonder, feelings and humour, and deep wisdom of life. Dr. Sabira Ståhlberg presents the multilingual Haikuriltai-concept by the Haiku Colorit group and discusses writing and reading multilingual haiku poetry. (partly in Tatar)
