Colonial dependencies have also been revived, often manifesting as access to raw materials and licences for their unhindered extraction. The idea of a \u201cnew world order\u201d based on globalisation, which was promoted until recently, has given way to a new combination of isolationism and imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the inevitable, and perhaps somewhat na\u00efve, question: What role can literature play in this situation, which is admittedly painted in somewhat dystopian terms? Can it (still) serve as a register, a medium for recording and processing global conditions and interactions? Or do these ultimately transcend the scope of literature? Is it possible to record conditions in such a way that they can be perceived as changeable? Can the achievements of political novels be simply scaled up to a global framework? To put it bluntly: In our project, we assume that there is such a thing as contemporary political literature\u2014but is there also such a thing as geopolitical literature?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, 29 Jan 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12.00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Zrinka Bo\u017ei\u0107 (University of Zagreb): Literary Cartography and Critical Geopolitics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mark Devenney (University of Brighton): Novel (Without) Borders: A Response to Schmitt\u2019s <em>Nomos of the Earth<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13.30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Korbinian Lindel (University of Koblenz): Geopolitics as an Aesthetic Principle \u2013 and as a Philological Approach?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lisa Katharina Schmitz (Johns Hopkins University): Unlearning Geopolitics: The Language of Global Order and the Potentialities of Literature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15.00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charlotte Woodford (University of Cambridge): Mapping German Modernities in Women\u2019s Writings at the Start of the 20th Century<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benjamin Kohlmann (University of Regensburg): The Novelists\u2019 International vs Geopolitics?
