The literary journal ‘Fosszília’ is published by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Szeged.
Its main objective is to introduce minority cultures and to contribute to the formation of
dialogues between them, concentrating primarily on the cultural phenomena of the Southern Slav area. In 2004, the journal comes out with a broader scale of topics: besides literary, philosophical, music and film theoretical writings, drama theories are also included. In the first part of the evening, two permanent authors, László Kiss and Balázs Papp will read out their own writings. Then Charles Bukowski’s short stories will be presented, whose writings were published in Hungarian by Fosszília. The next issue of the journal will focus on the theatre, so the reception-history of contemporary Hungarian and foreign drama theory, the phenomena and concept of alternative (fringe) theatre as well as the different levels of financial support and other current topics will be discussed.
The discussion will be open, so audience participation is welcome.
