Qui a le pouvoir de décider de la publication d’un manuscrit ? Qui a droit à la parole, qui est réellement lu ? Et pourquoi est-ce important ? Passa Porta invite à une discussion autour de la notion de littérature inclusive. Le modérateur Raf Njotea sera en conversation avec l'autrice belgo-rwandaise Dalilla Hermans, l'autrice de podcast Ébissé Wakjira-Rouw et la journaliste Jessica Craig.

Ruth Joos talks to British sensation Claire-Louise Bennett. This promises to be a crackling conversation about the need for imagination and the power of literature between a wilful writer and an eager reader. Houses, in so far as they are still sacred, will be reduced to rubble, and your list of books to read will be added to with care.

German author Anne Weber has been invited to talk about her surprising Epic Annette: A Heroine’s Tale. In writing this book, she performed a small miracle with big consequences. She told the true story of a real-life resistance heroine in a centuries-old verse form while creating a masterpiece that won her the German Book Prize. Karen Billiet, a literary journalist with a passion for German-language literature, talks to Anne Weber.

Elke dag zijn we wel iemands gast, gastvrouw of gastheer. We reizen naar het buitenland, gaan op bezoek bij vrienden of verwelkomen nieuwe collega’s. Tegelijk beleven we volgens sommigen het einde van de gastvrijheid. Filosoof Peter Venmans en auteur Chris Keulemans gingen bij zichzelf en anderen te rade over het eeuwenoude idee gastvrijheid en gaan er met elkaar over in gesprek. Iedereen welkom!
