More than 100 editors and intellectuals from all over Europe attended the 21st European Meeting of Cultural Journals in Paris from the 26-29 September (more here). This year's conference, entitled "crosswords X mots croisés [multilingualism and networking]", was organized by Eurozine together with Sens Public, Multitudes and Esprit, in cooperation with Ent'revues.

Held at the impressive Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, the conference explored multilingualism in Europe in terms of language policies, migration and the European public sphere. Topics ranged from the hegemony of the English language and the translatability of culture to the increasing localization of the www and the inclusion of the Maghreb in the community of European cultural journals.

Articles based on the speeches delivered by all panellists will be appearing in Eurozine in the coming weeks.
