The third workshop of the authors' collective will take place from 24 May to 27 May 2017 as part of the Oldenburg-Minsk project "Literary History of Belarus", in which renowned scholars from Belarus and other countries are involved.

The workshop "Literary History and Institutions" deals with the question of the historical variability of literary institutions and their functions in Belarus from the Middle Ages to the present day. The lectures by the authors of the planned literary history will be contextualised by short presentations of relevant theoretical texts and case studies from other literatures; in addition, lectures by several guests, including Dr Marie Vrinat-Nikolov (INALCO, Paris), will provide an opportunity to discuss general current issues in the literary historiography of 'smaller' literatures.
