The International Elias Canetti Society was a partner of “Across Europe”, a large-scale two year literary project. Four writers were sent on a journey throughout Europe with the task to draw an up-to-date map of the European cultural space. “Across Europe” drew a geographic and ideollogic line through this cultural space and posed questions regarding the social and political transformation processes. Each writer made a one-month work stay at the partner institutions and produced one text for each stay. Their works were translated in the languages of the partner lands and published there.
