The seminar is designed to introduce students to the circle of Belarusian literature since the 1990s. The subject includes information on the development of Belarusian literature for the period indicated. Particular emphasis will be placed on the presentation of the evolution of the views of writers and also on the conscious striving to inscribe into the context of European culture understood as a community of many national cultures. These changes resulted in original solutions in the literary output of such recognized writers of the older generation (W. Bykau, R. Baradulin, A. Razanau) and literary youth associated in alternative organizations: Association of Belarusian Writers: "Tutejsi", Towarzystwo Wolne Literatów, Stowarzyszenie Bum- Bam-Lit.
