OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Before World Fame: Commemorating Franz Kafka in 1920s Central Europe
The talk is also available online (Microsoft Teams).
Please email kafka@mod-langs.ox.ac.uk as soon as possible if you have mobility / access needs.
Ines Koeltzsch is a visiting professor at the Jewish Studies Program at CEU Vienna. This lecture offers a new perspective on the early afterlife of Kafka and examines both the significance of the media (text, voice, image) and of intellectual networks and communities of remembrance across nation-state borders in creating the author’s legend. This hybrid event is organised by the AHRC-funded project Kafka’s Transformative Communities and all are welcome.
