The Faculties of History, Anthropology and the School of Arts of European University (EUSP) have come together to start April with discussions of reading as part of the conference “Spaces of Reading”.

The main program of the conference will take place on April 9–11. The speakers will discuss various incarnations of the spatial aspect in the study of reading: reading practices, publishing strategies and reading infrastructures, social boundaries of reading and the appearance of a book. The conference covers a broad chronological and geographical scope of the phenomena studied. The program includes 21 participants and 6 key speakers.

The conference format involves a 15-minute presentation and a 10-minute discussion of each report; the sections will be moderated by invited speakers. 

In addition to the conference, there will be a parallel program of events that will take place from April 3 to 14 at various venues in the city. Don't miss out on lectures, workshops, and laboratories from researchers and practitioners!
