European waistlines

Author(s): Ida Börjel
Subject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: Jelenkor Kiadó

Summary/Abstract: Swedish poet Ida Börjel confronts us with our favourite and most insulting national prejudices about ourselves and our European neighbours. But does she confirm them? In a series of insidious linguistic displacements and only seemingly naive phrases, the preconceived notions start to move. Measuring the European waistlines is not a standardizing measure.
