As a mirror and sensorium for processes of cultural transformation, literature with its possibilities for artistic manifestations of multilingualism represents an important resource for theoretical and applied research. Multilingualism acts as a rhetorical and poetic device, and as such enables a variety of nuanced readings of literary texts. In addition, plurilingual authors offer a differentiated understanding of creativity across geographical, political and linguistic boundaries. Researchers Marianna Deganutti (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava) and Johanna Domokos (Bielefeld University and Károli University, Budapest) have dedicated their research to the field of literary multilingualism. At this event of the core topic Multilingualism, Migration and Cultural Transformation, they will give researchers and students an insight into theory and practice of this rapidly expanding domain.
