Recorded at the RECET Festival of Historical and Social Sciences "Migration & Transformation" at the University of Vienna, this episode brings together historian and literary scholar Zsófia Lóránd (University of Vienna / RECET), EUTERPE doctoral researcher Tamara Cvetković, EUTERPE scientific coordinator Petra Bakos, and British-Hungarian crime writer Éva Cserháti for a conversation about what it means to write across borders. They move from personal stories of belonging and displacement to the structural questions: who gets into the literary canon and who gets translated into English.
