Mainzer Poetikrunde

The Poetikrunde is a discussion forum in which authors, representing various concepts and positions, can enter into conversation. The aim is to enable their ideas of literature to come together and influence each other. Since the Academy is an intermediary between scientific theory and the practice of literature, it offers a framework for a dialogue. Here, questions about the form of literature or its concept of reality can be addressed without having to talk about the literary market, but not without losing touch with literary practice. In other words, it is about applied theory.
