Search for European Projects

Identities: the persistence of search for human values in European literature
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main objective of this project is publishing and promoting literary works that focus on reconsidering human values and identities in broader European frames. Though written in various epochs and coming from different cultures, they are all literary analysis of relations between the opposites: the rich and the poor, exploiters and exploited, discriminated and ones who discriminate, inhibited and those who inhibit, between the times in the future and those of the past. Having been in the gap these contrasts have made, and provoked by the forces such as love or war, the heroes and heroines of these novels try to redefine themselves, without sacrificing their individualities. They pose questions about their own origin, conscience in corporative or early industrial world, about the future which foundations have been shaken by war, the roles in conservative or traditional society in which individuals have to suppress their emotions, and the past in which we are but guests. Different voices raise those questions and in different languages, expressing them through local prisms and reflecting the images of personal relationships as much as of many groups, traditions and social circumstances. Still , those voices resonate within European space in concordance with different times and geographies.
