Start of the series “Spielräume der Gegenwartsliteratur”
Event series of the project Neighborhood in Contemporary Berlin Literature at the ZfL, held between April and June in cooperation with various partners in Berlin.
The ‘post-digital’ literary scene largely takes place online. The compulsory closure of venues and the shifting of readings to online platforms throughout the last two years has brought forth new forms of encounters while also intensifying the exchange between ‘digital’ and ‘analogue’ activity. At various locations, the event series addresses the diverse forms of contemporary literature in Berlin and online.
The first part of the series consists of readings, talks, and concerts in the accompanying program of the exhibition #neuland. Ich, wir & die Digitalisierung at the Museum of Communication Berlin. The second part addresses, among other things, fanfiction, new formats and role models within the literary scene as well as contemporary theater texts at various locations in Berlin. A scientific workshop at the ZfL discusses processes of post-digital writing.
