Research project The ALMA Award, cultural mediators and institutions of power in transnational flows

This project is part of a larger international project ”Domestic birds, foreign nests: Cultural policy, international publishers and the circulation of Dutch literature in translation” where we study transnational flows of Dutch Language authors in translation within ca. 14 case studies. From the Dutch language section at Stockholm University Annika Johansson and Sara Van Meerbergen study the cultural transfer process (incl. reception and translation) for the Flemish author Bart Moeyaert in Sweden. Specific focus is on the influence of literary institutions (the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, ALMA), cultural mediators (the Flemish Literature Fund) but also other actors in the cultural network established in and through the transnational transfer process.

Part of the project "Domestic birds, foreign nests: Cultural policy, international publishers and the circulation of Dutch literature in translation"

International collaboration with researchers in Dutch Studies from 14 countries. Project coordinators: Jack McMartin (Leuven University) and Paola Gentile (University of Trieste).

Financial support by Nederlandse Taalunie.
