The main academic sessions will take place from 22-24 April 2026, with accompanying public events starting on 21 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is there a constant need to examine politics through the lens of the novel? Historically, this unique literary form has proven highly effective in illuminating the complex relationship between pro-democratic and pro-authoritarian tendencies. This is why the Political Novel in Europe (PNE) will be the focal point of our conference\u2014serving as a vital aesthetic space where the tension between these opposing political impulses is constantly revealed, embodied, and rigorously debated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To comprehensively explore these dynamics, the event bridges the gap between theory and practice. The program features both formal academic panels and engaging public meetings with acclaimed writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PNE will be analyzed by a highly interdisciplinary group of experts, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Literary scholars and political theorists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural studies experts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Policy makers with local, national, and EU experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contemporary writers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For full details regarding the schedule, speakers, and venues, please see the attached conference programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caponeu.eu\/cdp\/events\/annual-caponeu-conference-political-novel-in-europe-between-democracy-and-authoritarianism\">https:\/\/www.caponeu.eu\/cdp\/events\/annual-caponeu-conference-political-novel-in-europe-between-democracy-and-authoritarianism<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti","category-knjizevnost"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Caponeu-political-novel.jpg?fit=500%2C261&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52664,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52664","url_meta":{"origin":52622,"position":0},"title":"CfP: CONFERENCE OF THE HISTORY OF CONCEPTS GROUP, HELSINKI, 19TH\u201321ST AUGUST 2026 (DEADLINE: 30TH APRIL 2026)","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"24. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The annual conference of the History of Concepts Group is held at the University of Helsinki, 19-21 August 2026.
