In the framework of international academic exchanges, Rémi Tchokothe visited the Université Félix-Houphouët-Boigny in Cocody Abidjan, Côte D'Ivoire, from February 3 to February 13, 2024. He had several meetings and talks with, for example, Prof Aimée-Danielle Lezou Koffi, professor of discourse analysis and vice dean in charge of pedagogy, Prof Paul N'guessan-Béchié, professor of German Literature and chairman of the Germanistik in Afrika Subsaha (GAS), and Dr. Alphonse Boua, associate professor of German Literature and vice dean of research at the UFR, Langues, Littératures et Civilisations (LLC). He also held counseling sessions with MA and Ph.D. students, presented the Department of Comparative Literature and the Department of African Studies of the University of Vienna and its journal Stichproben to colleagues in Abidjan, handed over several copies to colleagues, gave lectures on African literatures, research methodologies, and positionality, and participated in selected courses. Hopefully, a colleague from the Université Félix-Houphouët-Boigny will visit the University of Vienna soon.
