The project “Memory, space and identity in (transcultural) German-speaking literature from modernity to the present” is an international research project financed within the programme Multilateral scientific and technological cooperation in the Danube region (financing authority in Croatia is the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth). The project will contribute to the exploration of the relationships between memory, identity and space in the works of (transcultural) German-speaking authors who are biographically connected to the historical and contemporary geographical areas of the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic and Croatia. These three partner countries of this project are historically, geographically, politically and culturally connected to and through German-speaking culture, but in a geopolitical context they are somewhat “different” from the Central European position of German culture. The project team consists of associate professor Sonja Novak, (team leader), assistant professor Stephanie Jug, and it is being implemented in partnership with University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně (Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic) and the Slovak Academy of Science and Arts (Bratislava, Slovakia).
