New Finnish Writers – Presentation

Although the workshops are not intended to become seminars in literary theory, whenever needed we impart theoretical notions with practical implications. Thus, the writers gradually become acquainted with specialized terminology (enjambment, isotopy, focalization, etc.) and develop a notion of how broader concepts like modernity and postmodernity, tradition and avantgarde, come to bear on their writing.
