In the framework of “Beirut World Book Capital”, the Lebanese National Commission for Unesco organized a conference on “Lebanese Literature in the Country of Immigration”, which aimed to look for a new perspective to the relation that binds the literary works developed abroad with the homeland and the native culture, and to discuss the questions of exile and belonging. The conference also aspired to offer an open space for both resident and non-resident Lebanese writers, who might be of different generations and whose works are translated in multiple languages across various countries, to meet and deliberate on the standing of this kind of literature in the Lebanese cultural landscape, as well as its role in promoting cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.
