CAPONEU - Cartography of the Political Novel in Europe aims to assess the political novel as an important element of European political, social and cultural heritage. It sets out to examine how people in different national and cultural contexts engage with contemporary political issues and thereby have their share in shaping European societies and politics.

The first annual conference discusses a variety of understandings of the political novel as a genre. It probes genre-theoretically and genre-historically informed approaches to defining the political novel and to paradigmatically illustrate this mutable genre with respect to specific novels that emerged in heterogeneous contexts.

The Feminist Book Club is organised in collaboration of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, and Club Booksa (Association for Promotion of Cultures Kulturtreger). It will be organised over a period of nine months (October 2023–June 2024) with one meeting per month. The book club will explore and discuss how the contemporary political novel shapes and transforms perceptions of gender and class within the framework of 20th and 21st century world and (post)Yugoslav literature.
