SUMMARY:Maja Haderlap speaks at Boston University
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reading & conversation with Austrian author Maja Haderlap\, put on by the Boston University Pardee School of Global Studies Center for the Study of Europe. \nHaderlap will read from her recent novel\, Angel of Oblivion (Archipelago Books\, August\, 2016)\, which is based on the experiences of her family and the Slovenian-speaking minority in southern Austria\, many of whom fought as partisans against the Nazis during the Second World War. The story centers on the experiences of a young girl learning to navigate the terrain between two hostile communities and two extremely burdened languages: Slovenian\, a language of heroic resistance and continued humiliation\, and German\, an escape from her stifling rural upbringing but also the language of the camps which her grandmother barely survived and many other family members didn’t. Engaging with themes of tolerance and integration of minority communities\, the burden of history\, the effects of conflicts on survivors and their children\, and language’s role in shaping identity\, Haderlap’s novel strikes at problems of paramount importance to our world today. \n \nMaja Haderlap was born in Eisenkappel\, Austria\, and studied theatre and German at the University of Vienna. From 1992 to 2007 she was head of dramaturgy at the Municipal Theatre of Klagenfurt\, and she continues to hold annual dramaturgy classes in Klagenfurt. Since 2008 she has lived and worked as a freelance author in Klagenfurt. She has published volumes of poetry and essays in Slovenian and German\, and translations from Slovenian. \nFree & Open to the Public | Reception and Book-signing to follow \nThis year’s European Voices events are organized in collaboration with the literary journal AGNI and the Goethe-Institut Boston and are taking place as part of EU Futures\, a series of conversations exploring the emerging future in Europe. The EU Futures project is supported by a Getting to Know Europe Grant from the European Commission Delegation in Washington\, DC to the Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University. \n  \nArchipelago Books would also like to thank the Austrian Cultural Forum whose generous efforts and collaboration made this event a reality.
