Description
El debate en torno al concepto de literatura mundial acompaña el proceso de reconfiguración del diseño global desde la Caída del Muro de Berlín y el desmantelamiento del orden bipolar en adelante. Las literaturas nacionales e incluso los constructos regionales están, desde entonces, en crisis. Fórmulas teóricas divergentes y también complementarias buscan resituar las literaturas latinoamericanas en dinámicas globales y superar, así, los...

Description
From today's vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against,...

Description
Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over. New concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project: the volume scrutinizes these responses in the aesthetic realm and under a "post-global" banner, while incorporating alternative, non-Western epistemologies and literatures of the post-colonial Global South.

Description
How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools...

Description
From the perspective of Latin American Studies, this volume offers a critical contribution to the current debate on world literature. It is structured around three conceptual blocks: "gatekeepers", as the dispositives and actors mediating the international circulation of literature; "translation", as an unavoidable but always problematic mechanism; and "local literatures", as modes of writing that remain intrinsically tied to their contexts.

Description
El volumen analiza las implicaciones del concepto world exhaustion/agotamiento del mundo, que ha surgido en un contexto cultural post-global y cuyos efectos son particularmente destacados en las literaturas y culturas latinoamericanas. El término conceptual se adecua a la ambivalencia de las experiencias vividas por sociedades marcadas por siglos de globalización y a la producción artística que busca dar forma y sentido a estas experiencias.

Description
In an age of accelerating ecological crises, global inequalities and democratic fragility, it has become crucial to achieve renewed articulations of human commonality. With anchorage in critical theory as well as world literary studies, this volume approaches literature - and modes of literary thinking - as a key resource for such a task. "Universality" is understood here not as an established "universalism", but as a horizon towards which intellectual...

Description
The existence of World Literature depends on specific processes, institutions, and actors involved in the global circulation of literary works. The contributions of this volume aim to pay attention to these multiple material dimensions of Latin American 20th and 21st century literatures. From perspectives informed by materialism, sociology, book studies, and digital humanities, the articles of this volume analyze the role of publishing houses, politics...
