The Reception of Literary Neo-Avant-Gardes
– an Anthology

Ghent, 15-16 December 2022

Het Rustpunt, Burgstraat 110-116, 9000 Gent

 The international neo-avant-gardes are a rich and diversified field. The current ENAG research network examines the reception of those neo-avant-gardes in a broad sense: when and how are neo-avant-garde texts read, who are these audiences, how does the critical reception develop, and what characterizes the cognitive processing of literary neo-avant-gardes? Part of these questions will be addressed in a form that is in itself an example of reception: an anthology of international neo-avant-gardes by ENAG. This workshop gives center stage to particular works and excerpts selected for the anthology. The commentaries by the speakers, which will also motivate the choice for this text, reflect upon concepts of reception in a broad sense, which may include critical reception, cognitive reception, intertextual links, institutional circulation, and primary audiences.
