Description
By bringing in different degrees of circulation in different regions and languages, this collection shows that while literary centers do exist in what Pascale Casanova calls "the international literary space", their power does not operate unilaterally and modes of intercultural circulation do exist beyond their control. The title "World Literature in Motion" highlights the fact that world literature is always already the product of certain modes of conceptual and material mobility and mediation.
Reviews / Votes
"In the ongoing consolidation of world literature studies, World Literature in Motion provides a much-needed elaboration of sociological methods of inquiry. Up-to-date and theoretically savvy, yet attentive to the complexities of doing research across languages and continents, this volume contributes substantially to making literary studies relevant in our global age."-Professor Stefan Helgesson, Stockholm UniversityMore details
