We invite you to read Volume 11 of the journal Acta Litteraria Comparativa, dedicated to the theme Literature in Eras of Conflict: Ideology and Ethics.
This reveals that, despite geographical, historical and economic differences, we unfortunately still share a common theme when discussing literature in times of conflict, including ideologies, politics, historical memory, ethics, optimism and tragedy. Whether we talk about the colonial context of African Americans and European colonialism in Africa, totalitarianism, the Lithuanian experience of the world wars and their aftermath, the violence of the Cold War in India or Russian imperialism in the Caucasus, we can see that history is always full of conflict and aggression.
Let us hope that the complicated and tragic experiences analyzed in this issue will serve as a bond between us in this complex world rife with endless conflicts. Perhaps, by learning from these experiences, we will one day be able to confidently affirm and finally put into practice the principle of “never again.”
