3rd PULA ESSAY DAYS

We launched Pula Essay Days as an international literary event in Pula, viewing it also as a town-essay from its special literary perspective. In the meantime, it has become traditional. Since its beginning, we have tried to promote the aesthetic, poetic, generation and other diversity of participants that are invited to the event.

It is pretty easy to recognise the two parts of the meeting: namely, one session is always on the essayistic approach to essay as a literary form, genre… (essay on essay), while the other one deals with a given topic in an essayistic way. The widest framework in terms of annual topic selection and its approaches refers to humanities, literature and arts in particular, so the first Pula Essay Days culturally dealt with the issues of globalisation and identity, the second meeting was on town seen as an essay, and this year we are going to 'read' Europe, that is so contradictory but our future destiny, as well. All the contributions are to be later published in Nova Istra.

In its own way, essay 'restores peace' between literature and science, reflection and unrestricted imagination; due to the free selection of its contents, it is neither review nor feuilleton, debate nor article, as it is more complex than these. It is a 'high-class' and almost dominant form in modern literature. As Tin Ujević used to say, essay is 'literary italics' and, in a special adaptable way, it is certainly – the literary genre in the future.
