Introduction
Franz Kafka memorial in Prague by Jaroslav Róna (2003)
Kafka is a borderline phenomenon. His writing, thinking and feelings mark borders between delusion and dream and reality, between understanding and incomprehensibility, but also between the literatures and between the media and between Czech and German and Austrian culture. The 15th Bohemicum Dresdense is dedicated to this "Kafka on the border", bringing together contributions from the fields of literature and linguistics as well as cultural and media studies.
This year's Bohemicum Dresdense is taking place as part of the 26th Czech-German Culture Days. We are delighted to welcome Jozef Špánik (Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Dresden), who will officially open the event.
