D.3 Cultural relations between Finno-Ugric (Hungarian/Finnish/Estonian) and Western European (German/French) Literatures and Cultures in the 19-20^th Century

The research of cultural relations from a functional, structural and historical point of view is essential not only for interdisciplinary but also for comparative literary studies. This symposium aims to describe the cultural relations and their evolution between Finno-Ugric (Hungarian/Finnish/Estonian) and Western-European (German/French) literatures and cultures in the 19^th and 20^th century.

The symposium welcomes papers focusing on themes such as:

1. Cultural figures and their contribution(s) to these cultural relations

2. Cultural networking in a historical context

3. Western European, central cultures as models for Finno-Ugric, peripheral cultures

4. Cultural relations as products (translations, exhibitions, theatre plays etc.)

The papers will be published in the journal Erdélyi Múzeum.

The language of the symposium is Hungarian.
