It will feature researchers from Poland, the USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and Italy representing various disciplines, i. e. literary studies, cultural studies, comparative studies, history of art, media studies, youth literature, and comic book studies. The participants will include the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany to Kraków Dr Michael Groß, the Honorary Consul of Austria to Kraków Andrzej Tombiński as well as members of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Goethe Institute in Kraków, the Austrian Cultural Forum, and the Association of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellows “Societas Humboldtiana Polonorum”.
