European School of Political and Social Sciences, Lille Europe, March 16, 2018

Cristofovici's novel, Stela, was featured in the European literature course of ESPOL for 1st and 3rd year students. The students presented Cristofovici's work and discussed aspects of the novel. They exchanged with the author about European history and literature, about where we are in terms of Eastern and Western Europe today, and about the relationship between "the political" and "the poetic".

In her lecture, "Le mur invisible: l'écrivain europééen après 1989,"  (The Invisible Wall: Where European Writers Stand After 1989) Cristofovici discussed the situation of international (or supra-national) writers over the past thirty years. The work of writers who are independent of national identifications and languages still remains little known, if not totally ignored, in spite of globalization being the issue of the day. Considering a wide range of writers who have written in more than one language and lived in more than one country, would — Cristofovici argues — contribute to a more complete picture of European literature and of world literature, for that matter.
