Claiming Space: Locations and Orientations in World Literatures: Cosmopolitan-Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures

Editat de Professor or Dr. Bo G. Ekelund, Professor or Dr. Adnan Mahmutovic, Helena Wulff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2023
This open access book explores literary works and practices - always existing in the dynamic relation between locations and orientations - in a series of carefully designed case studies. Explicitly expressed or implied, manifesting itself sometimes as dislocation and disorientation, the claiming of space by any symbolic means necessary is revealed as a constant effect of literary endeavors. In dialogue with geopolitics of culture, sociology and anthropology, attention to literary locations and orientations brings spatial particularity into the study of world literatures. These case studies demonstrate that four key terms (cosmopolitan, vernacular, location, orientation) can frame analyses of very different types of literary acts and texts in the contemporary period, allowing for distinctions that are not captured within the grids of other conceptual pairs like centre-periphery, local-global, postcolonial-metropolitan, North-South. With this framing, expressive practices in a wide range of regions - including Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific - are analysed in ways that bring out how spatiality is at stake in the cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Recenzii

This dazzling collection of essays about world literature brings the vernacular into dialogue with the cosmopolitan. The value of this aim is now beyond dispute, what this book delivers is an account of how to do it.
Claiming Space opens new perspectives on the complex terrain of world literatures, mapping the intersections of space, place and literary production in revelatory ways. The volume brings textured and insightful case studies into conversation with a lively, subtle and distinctive theoretical sensibility.
A superb intervention into the ongoing debates around world literature. The essays in this important edited collection significantly advance geocultural and geopolitical understandings of world literature, making a vital contribution to the field.
