Klosterberg, the third novel by GSPoL alumn Boris Celeste Hoge-Benteler, explores themes of shelter and isolation, of inner realms of escape and the blurring of boundaries. With a rapturous, poetic voice, it pushes the possibilities of perception and language, drawing us into a mental landscape that is at once unsettling and compelling, claustrophobic and liberating.

At some point, every researcher faces the question of how to share their work with a wider audience. This workshop invites participants to explore publication options and strategies early on. While the main emphasis will be on turning a dissertation into a publication, other formats of scholarly output will be considered as well. 

Literatur begegnet uns im Buchhandel, auf der Bühne, im Museum – aber auch auf der Straße, in sozialen Medien oder im Alltag. In ihrem Vortrag geht Dr. Lis Hansen der Frage nach, was heute als Literaturvermittlung gilt und wie sie zwischen ästhetischer Erfahrung und gesellschaftlicher Relevanz wirken kann.
