Intervention : Laetitia Zecchini

The first annual symposium on literary activism organized by the University of East Anglia in India takes place in Calcutta on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December. ‘Literary Activism’ is a form of activism undertaken on behalf of, rather than through, the literary: although the distinction necessarily breaks down.

Neither a celebrity-driven literary festival nor an academic conference, the symposium is a conversation between writers, academics, editors and publishers from all over the world.
