Join us for our conference exploring narratives from 'Heimatliteratur' across German-speaking countries in the long nineteenth Century. These texts, written during social and political transitions resulting in the emergence of a unified nation state, reveal a shifting sense of boundaries, national identity, and 'otherness', along with impacts from paper and printing technological advances. We will contrast this discourse with contemporary discussions around inclusivity and marginalisation.
