New Reading of Literature / Heroines at the Zenith

The third day of the festival ‘Heroines at the Zenith’ will be held at the Svilara Cultural Station on 11 June, within the Heroines programme arch.

This event is a round table on contemporary women’s creativity, both in our country and in Europe. Six women, that is, six authorities (university professors, literary critics, translators, journalists, and editors) will provide us with a new view of the problem of current poetics of women’s literature and a new evaluation.

The four-day festival ‘Heroines at the Zenith’ opens a space for presentation, getting acquainted with and opening dialogue with important female prose writers, poets, literary critics, and editors in publishing houses with an unequivocally thoughtful and enlightened feminist view of the world.

Literature created by women has not been synonymous with the margin for a long time: precisely, it puts local literary production in the European and international context by re-examining the dominant ideological canon and implicit male-centric policies of exclusivity and violence.

Some of the heroines of contemporary publishing, who we will meet on the third day of the festival are Tamara Krstić, Olja Petronić, Vladislava Gordić Petković, Vera Kopicl and Pobunjene čitateljke (Irena Jovanović and Marija Božić).

On the fourth day of the festival, the attendees will be able to meet female literary critics.

Erste Bank is the partner of the Heroines programme arch.
