Walls,Literature to Andwearehappy Areraisedanddiscussedduringthefestival 8 Walls | Kapittel 08 Stavanger International Festival of Literature and Freedom of Speech Walls | 8 – 14 September 2008 Welcome to Kapittel 08! It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Kapittel 08 – Stavanger International Festival of Literature and Freedom of Speech. This year Stavanger is a European capital of culture under the slogan Open Port, and it is as a hospitable port, open to new voices and impulses, that we will receive Kapit- tel’s guests. As a city of refuge for persecuted writers we will be a port for those who need our protection, and with a festival of literature and freedom of speech we will take part in the protection of the free word. With this year’s theme Walls the festival reminds us that the openness that we can walls allow ourselves is far from a given elsewhere in the world. Historical conflicts have | lead to physical walls in cities like Berlin and Belfast, and today we see how the conflict in the Middle East has lead to new physical barriers between people in Israel and Palestine. Stavanger is a friendship city with Nablus on the West Bank and the Israeli city of www.kapittel.com Netanya. I myself have visited boths cities and their mayors have visited Stavanger. Now there is a wall between the cities. I am happy that the problems concerning this political situation are raised and discussed during the festival. murer Literature has the ability to build bridges where there are walls, and we are happy to welcome a number of international guests who bring the world to Stavanger. Welcome to Kapittel 08! Leif Johan Sevland Mayor Kapittel 08 Walls! The theme of Kapittel 08 is Walls.

Helen Eirik Bø, festival manager Oyeyemi, Madeleine Thien, Marina Lewycka and Mustafa Can all describe culture clashes in books that have found readers far across their own borders. We will also put focus on the mental walls that define our notion of topics such as race, sex and class. Literature has always been a debate arena for these topics and is an important source of insight into other people’s every- day lives. At the same time, literature has its own walls, This is an extract of this year’s in the shape of genres, and the increasingly flammable program listing events in English/English divide between high and low.

Out of the Darkness | 40 years of Northern Press Photograph Exhibition Out of the Darkness | 40 years of Northern Press Photograph KULTURTORGET, free This year’s Kapittel exhibition The Kapittel exhibition this year is closely linked to the festival theme: Walls. Belfast is one of the cities that through its history makes one of the three wall cities that we pay special attention to during the festival. The exhibition renders visible forty years of press photography in Northern Ireland, and was produced in association with the 25th anniversary of the Northern Ireland Press Photographers Association. Out of the Darkness contains memorable, intense and moving prize shots which reflect the dramatic history of the province and its change from the turbulence of the 1970s to the more peaceful political situation of today. The exhibition gives good insight into an extraordinary era of Northern Ireland’s his- tory. Several of the photos have made history nationally as well as internationally, thereby contributing to shedding some light on the conflict. During the festival there will be tours of the exhibition venue Kulturtorget in relation to events connected to the conflict in Northern Ireland. The tours are offered as part of the event and to those in possession of a festival pass. Stanley Matchett Foto: Peter Richards is curator of the exhibition on behalf of the Northern Ireland Press Photographers Association. The exhibition is organised in cooperation between The Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast and Sølvberget’s gallery Kulturtorget.

  • Annual Report 2017
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Org nr 834001-6776 Introduction In 2017 the Baltic Centre for Writers and Translators, pursuing its aim to support creative process and provide authors and translators international cultural environment, time and space to write, read, translate, study, conduct research, give readings and become part of the vibrant and diverse literary context, served as a work and meeting place for a broad international community of 213 writers and translators from 26 countries. In 2017 BCWT also put special attention to Russian new literature and its authors as well to the Russian-Swedish cultural exchange. A translators’ workshop in July, a writers’ conference in October and increased Russian writers and translators’ presence in the international residency environment through the year was a result of this intensified exchange that laid ground for further cooperation. Also, the quest to convey the centre's narrative out to the world and the keen work to maintain the centre as an active international cultural actor continued. All those who work with and at the Centre, its intellectual owners and creators, i e authors and translators, and those who take care of the “business”, are keen to cherish the centre's inner essence and meaning - to be a home for literary creation, authors’ and translators’ ongoing workshop, an inspiring international environment and a place for significant meetings and learning. Through the year many groups and individuals visited the Centre to get closer acquainted with its activity and work conditions. BCWT’s programs often become the first acquaintance with a certain authorship or a translator’s work for the Swedish audience.

  • Norský Jazyk a Literatura – Tři Oddíly Zkušebních Okruhů K Bakalářské Zkoušce
    Norský jazyk a literatura – Tři oddíly zkušebních okruhů k bakalářské zkoušce Nejde o otázky, které jsou lehce vyčerpatelné, jde o okruhy, tedy konkrétní náplň, akcenty, strukturaci a problémovou diskusi si určuje každý sám – s ohledem na svou četbu, např. odborné literatury. (U konkrétních autorů by životopisné údaje neměly tvořit více než 15% rozsahu vypracované otázky). Zaměřte se na díla, jejich periodizaci, ale také jejich sekundární analýzy v Norsku i mimo něj, nezapomeňte na související překlady/recepci. Okruh I – Literatura a kultura budou zkoušeny česky, nebo dobrovolně norsky. Do struktury otázky je třeba zabudovat vlastní četbu. Pozor: Mnohé otázky se obsahově částečně překrývají, vytvořte si profil otázky sami. Okruh II je lingvistický. Můžete sami rozhodnout, jestli chcete lingvistické otázky vypracovávat norsky nebo česky (pak bude literatura norsky, domluvíme ve skupině). Okruh III je konverzační, tedy jednotně povinně norský. Pozor: Všechny otázky, resp. některé jejich části, mohou být zadány/ převzaty také pro písemnou část bakalářské zkoušky. Písemka se koná jiný den než ústní. Ústní zkouška trvá se třemi otázkami (které si taháte ze tří klobouků) celkem 20 - 25 minut, plus desetiminutová příprava na potítku, kam není dovoleno si vzít jakékoli podklady a poznámky (z potítka ke zkoušení si vlastní poznámky vzít smíte). K časovému rozvrhu přistupuje navíc i obhajoba bakalářské práce – 20 min. (K tomu více později, až budeme vědět, že se zkouška bude odehrávat nevirtuálně…) P.S. Studenti si někdy rozdělují otázky mezi sebou k vypracování a podělení se ve skupině. To může být do určité míry výhodné, ale podle dosavadních zkušeností i velmi zrádné. Může dojít i k šíření chybných, nedostatečných a pokroucených informací.
