Transfer of cultural heritage within literary events of the Groninger Forum Library

This paper investigates the notions of cultural transfer, cultural transmission and cultural interaction in four literary events, Het Grote Gebeuren, Boek & Film, Naked Lunch and Zondagschrijvers, organised by Groninger Forum Bibliotheek. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research shows different results for the four events. The role of the audience is limited in three out of four events, whereas one of the events counts on input of the audience. Based on the results of our research we formulate recommendations which can be taken under consideration in order to optimise these four events and the relationship between literary agencies and audience.This paper investigates the notions of cultural transfer, cultural transmission and cultural interaction in four literary events, Het Grote Gebeuren, Boek & Film, Naked Lunch and Zondagschrijvers, organised by Groninger Forum Bibliotheek.
