Stephan Vanfleteren

Stephan Vanfleteren is one of Belgium’s most renowned photographers. Among the general public, he is mainly celebrated for his penetrating black and white portraits of people from all walks of life, from artists and actors, to surfers, fisher- and sportsmen. However, his oeuvre is much more diverse than that. Starting his career as a press photographer, Vanfleteren made captivating photo reports about the events that dominated the news of the 1990s, such as the genocide in Rwanda, the war in Kosovo and the Dutroux affaire in Belgium. Later on, he began to elaborate a variation of themes in extended photo reportages, going from storefront façades to a journey along the mythical Atlantic Wall.

For his most recent work, Vanfleteren withdrew int

Barbara Stok

I used to be a drummer in a punkrock band before I became a comic artist. What is a good life? That is the common thread in my work. I like to write and draw stories about minimalism and resistance, about making important choices, about people who dare to go against the grain for a higher purpose.

My book ‘Vincent’ is published in more than twenty countries around the world. 'The philosopher, the dog and the wedding' is my latest graphic novel, about one of the first female philosophers from ancient Greece. It is translated into English, Spanish and French, and translations in Korea, China and Albany are on the way.

Other works deal with the situation of Berlin before and after German reunification. Schneider is also a major Essayist; having moved away from the radicalism of 1968, his work now appears predominantly in bourgeois publications.

Jorge Zalamea

Escritor, ensayista, poeta y diplomático colombiano.

Jorge Zalamea es considerado como el escritor más polémico de su época. Tuvo una interpretación muy característica de la cultura y del quehacer del intelectual, según la cual, las cuestiones fundamentales de la cultura no se cierran en el orden ideal y superior del espíritu, sino que son de índole social y están ligadas íntimamente a los asuntos materiales, como la tenencia de la tierra, el trabajo, la propiedad privada.

Daniela Kapitáňová sa vymyká z plejády súčasných autoriek próz, ak máme predovšetkým na mysli líniu autoriek tzv. ženských románov. Dôkazom toho je hneď mimoriadne úspešný debut Kniha o cintoríne (2000), ktorý zaujal originálnym svetom aj jazykom protagonistu, mentálne postihnutého Samka Táleho. Jazyk je znakom, ktorý hlavného
