The main content of the Conference is to analyze, evaluate practice of literary composition in the renovation, as in literary life, this is the most dynamic area that makes the sharpest impression of the renovation. We hear here steaming hot breath of the life, new cognition of writers about the world, history and people, where there are gestation and revelation of new aesthetic ideologies, as well as clear expression of writers’ cultural sensitivity... In comparison to the previous, practice of literary composition in the renovation presents and develops in cultural space that contains two great characters of the time as renovation and integration. Renovation, integration themselves are the most important key words in literature after 1986. Process of international integration demands us to face following questions: Where is Vietnamese literature in the world literature map? What did we contribute to enrichment of the mankind’s spiritual heritage? In the era of globalization, although spiritual products, literature should accept and adapt to market rules and the time in order to gain market share against expansion of modern communication techniques.
