Francophone Literature as World Literature de Professor Christian Moraru

Francophone Literature as World Literature: Literatures as World Literature

Editat de Professor Christian Moraru, Prof Nicole Simek, Prof Bertrand Westphal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2022
Francophone Literature as World Literature examines French-language works from a range of global traditions and shows how these literary practices draw individuals, communities, and their cultures and idioms into a planetary web of tension and cross-fertilization. The Francophone corpus under scrutiny here comes about in the evolving, markedly relational context provided by these processes and their developments during and after the French empire. The 15 chapters of this collection delve into key aspects, moments, and sites of the literature flourishing throughout the francosphere after World War II and especially since the 1980s, from the French Hexagon to the Caribbean and India, and from Québec to the Maghreb and Romania. Understood and practiced as World Literature, Francophone literature claims--with particular force in the wake of the littérature-monde debate--its place in a more democratic world republic of letters, where writers, critics, publishers, and audiences are no longer beholden to traditional centers of cultural authority.

Caracteristici

Has political and theoretical-methodological dimensions as it reframes literature in French without privileging the former imperial center (the French Hexagon) and the literary history and canonization protocols bound up with the rise of French nationalism and imperialism

Recenzii

An important contribution to the lively and ongoing debate on what constitutes World Literature in French as well as a global mapping of its institutional, spatial and identity positionalities, Francophone Literature as World Literature is an original volume offering diverse approaches that are theoretically rigorous and planetary in scope.
This fascinating and timely book is distinguished not just by the scholarly caliber of its contributors but by the range of its approaches, the breadth of its concerns, and the quality of its writing.
Francophone Literature as World Literature revisits a fruitful paradigm in modern literary criticism in the light of crosspollinations in various francophone areas. This rich collection of essays renews epistemological frameworks by exploring borderlands in four directions: systems and institutions, spatialities, relational identities, and planetary intertexts. It also carries on the discussion about 'worlding' ('faire-monde') in a ecological perspective for languages and literatures in the French Caribbean, Subsaharian Africa, India, North America, and Central-Eastern Europe.
In Francophone Literature as World Literature, the editors and contributors reveal in a most compelling way the multi-sited nodes of literary production in the French language around the world, in a context marked by extraordinary creative profusion, ambivalent affiliations, and inescapable global market imperatives. The volume makes a powerful case for the validity and for the singularity of Francophone literature as World Literature, all the while infusing both terms, as they converge, with renewed theoretical poise.
