ERASMUS MUNDUS
General Coordinator of the Erasmus Mundus Masters Course Crossways in Cultural
Narratives since its creation in 2010, member of the Academic Council of the Interzones
EMJD and Local Co-ordinator of the Interzones programme at UPVD, Jonathan Pollock
conceives of the interzone as a space outside identity and a movement between milieus.
The passage from one milieu to another, becoming other, confronting the chaos inbetween ordered worlds, such is the essence of literature.
