The Berlin Literary Action e. V. is a literary association based in Berlin .

The association was founded in 2005 by a network of international literary activists - including authors, translators, literary scholars and organizers - chaired by Martin Jankowski .

In addition to literature, theater, visual arts and music also play a role in the formats. Another focus is on Berlin authors, especially those from Prenzlauer Berg and the period after the reunification. The Berlin Literary Action is a member of the Working Group of Literary Societies and Memorials.

The Berlin Literary Action regularly organized multilingual poetry slams , including from 2002 to 2010 the international SLAM! Revue at the international literature festival berlin . The format of the slam revue has found numerous imitators worldwide since 2002. In 2010 a Franco-German poetry slam took place in the Admiralspalast . Further poetry slams were carried out at conferences with various partners, for example in 2012 with the German Society for International Cooperation and in 2013 with the Heinrich Böll Foundation .

Since 2002, the Berlin Literary Action has been organizing non-public readings and workshops with international authors in Berlin penal institutions with the Literature Behind Bars program . The Berlin Literary Action participated in research projects of the European Union on cultural education in prisons, Art and Culture in Prison and Learning in Prison .

In 2011, the association organized the Jakarta Berlin Arts Festival 2011, which presented key players in the Indonesian cultural scene to the Berlin audience for the first time. As part of the festival, events and a. Realized in cooperation with the Berlin Senate and the Humboldt University of Berlin . Further partnerships exist with the Institute for German and Dutch Philology and the Friends of Applied Literature at the Free University of Berlin .

In 2014, the Berlin Literary Action organized the literary project WeltLITERATURstadt Berlin, sponsored by the Berlin Senate , which introduces non-native German authors living in Berlin who are often overshadowed by the literary life of Berlin, which is almost exclusively focused on German and possibly English-speaking authors. In 2016, the Berlin-wide literature festival STADTSPRACHEN was realized on this topic as a joint project of the Network Free Literature Scene Berlin (NFLB).

This resulted in the internationally acclaimed PARATAXE project, which has since been regularly translating non-German-speaking Berlin authors and presenting them in readings and symposia throughout the city and publishing literary texts and documents in the polylingual online webzine stadtsprach magazin , which is read worldwide .
