Summary/Abstract: The 15th Bohemicum Dresdense, titled "Kafka an der Grenze," was held at the Zentralbibliothek in Dresden on October 25, 2024, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka's death. The event, part of the Czech-German Cultural Days, was organized by the Center for Middle and Eastern Europe at TU Dresden in cooperation with the Zentralbibliothek Dresden. It featured ten presentations exploring Kafka's work and its intersections with language, literature, and culture. Topics included Kafka's multilingualism, his blending of cultural traditions, and his influence on various media. Notable presentations examined Kafka's use of German, Czech, and Yiddish, his transmedial reception in Czech art, and his impact on contemporary literature and film. The conference highlighted Kafka's role as a cultural bridge and his enduring relevance in different historical and social contexts.
