Dr Watroba's AHRC funded project ran from March 2023 to March 2024 and produced a case study on the wide-ranging creative reception of the landmark German modernist writer Franz Kafka in contemporary Korean culture.

The project follows literary rivers across texts from France and the Americas, thinking about those rivers as tributaries to a wider oceanic history.

This 1 year project led by Patrick McGuinness, with Stefano Evangelista from the Faculty of English, was funded by the Fondation Philippe Wiener-Maurice Anspach.
