The East Central European Center, the Department of Slavic Languages, Czech Center New York, and the Harriman Institute organize an international conference on Jaroslav Hašek called "The World of Jaroslav Hašek". The conference will take place at Columbia University on April 21-22, 2023.
This conference will draw together leading scholars from various disciplines (eg. City College professor Václav Paris and Prague-based scholar František Podhajský, among others) to reflect on the life, work, and ongoing relevance of the great Czech author, Jaroslav Hašek (1883-1923). Hašek, a humorist, satirist, journalist, hoaxer, bohemian, anarchist politician etc., is best known for the unfinished long comic narrative, The Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk in the Great War (Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka za světové války, 1921-1923).
The conference is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
