The "Entering Literature" conference will look at the places where people learn and gain recognition for the craft of writing, attitudes and self-narratives, and the forms, genres and preferred media for becoming a writer.

As part of the international colloquium 'Entrer en littérature' organised by IHRIM (ENS de Lyon), Université Paris 8, INALCO and the Czech Academy of Sciences, Lena Magnone, researcher in residence at the Collegium, will present her research: Becoming an author in a small Central European nation before 1918. Stories of entry into literature by Olha Kobylianska and Isidora Sekulić".
