Sumario:PEN International celebrated its centenary in 2021, while Catalan PEN reached this anniversary in 2022. The PEN centres are part of a close-knit network that brings together people of letters from around the world. Their literary activism has maintained productive relationships ¿on a larger-than-the-domestic scene¿ (Even-Zohar 2000, 390) for a century and it continues to influence important political events in practically all four corners of the world. The loose but, at the same time, highly committed structure of this international writers¿ association is a good example of ¿soft power,¿ the transformative energy that is generated by cultural projects.
