Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As its title indicates, the book series "Latin American Literatures in the World" presents an innovative understanding of literatures written in Latin America and the Caribbean. Informed by current perspectives on world literary studies and cultural theory, the series focuses on works that deal with the multiple global connections of Latin American literatures. This comprises determined aesthetics and forms of writing, as well as book-market-related phenomena of the worldwide reception and circulation of these literatures. Understanding Latin American literature’s transnational orientation as its essential feature, the series seeks to provide new perspectives on the global entanglements of Latin America. A special emphasis is placed on works that consider relations and exchanges with Asia, Africa and other world regions beyond the traditional transatlantic focus. Como su título lo indica, la serie "Literaturas latinoamericanas en el mundo" representa un entendimiento innovador de las literaturas concebidas como latinoamericanas y caribeñas. A partir de postulados actuales de los estudios de la literatura mundial y la teoría cultural, la serie se centra en trabajos que investigan las múltiples conexiones globales de las literaturas latinoamericanas. Este enfoque comprende tanto la transferencia de determinadas estéticas y escrituras al igual que fenómenos de mercado, de recepción y puesta en circulación internacionales. En base a la orientación transnacional de las literaturas latinoamericanas como una de sus características fundamentales, la serie busca promover abordajes críticos e innovadores sobre esos entrelazamientos globales de América Latina. Un interés particular consiste en los trabajos que investigan los intercambios con Asia, África y otras regiones del mundo más allá del tradicional enfoque transatlántico.
Download or read book Am rica Latina en la literatura mundial written by Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado and published by Instituto Internacional de Literatura Iberoamericana Universidad de Pittsburgh. This book was released on 2006 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A partir de la formulación de Goethe en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, el concepto de "literatura mundial" ha constituido una propuesta a partir de la cual se han articulado disciplinas como la filología, la historiografía y la literatura comparada. En años recientes, las investigaciones de Franco Moretti y Pascale Casanova han puesto de nuevo el tema en el centro del debate. Ambos elaboran teorías que reformulan, de manera a veces radical, el objecto geoliterario de la literatura comparada. Los artículos del presente volumen plantean una respuesta a estos retos crítico-teóricos desde América Latina, evaluando sus contribuciones a la lectura de la producción literaria regional desde el paradigma de la "literatura mundial". Asimismo, estos estudios plantean críticas alternativas a las limitaciones de modelos como la "república mundial de las letras" de Casanova y a metodologías basadas en instrumentos como las "gráficas, mapas y árboles" de Moretti. De esta manera algunas de las figuras señeras de los estudios literarios y culturales latinoamericanos se preguntan por la legitimidad de este nuevo modelo interpretativo y por sus implicaciones ideológicas y epistemológicas para el caso de América Latina.' Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado 'Since the first decades of the 19th century, Goethe's concept of 'world literature' has constituted a key approach to further disciplines such as philology, historiography and comparative literature. In recent years, the research conducted by Franco Moretti and Pascale Casanova has once again put this topic at the center of the debate. Both elaborate theories that reformulate, sometimes radically, the geoliterary object of comparative literature. The articles in this volume propose a response to these critical-theoretical challenges from Latin America, evaluating their contributions to the reading of regional literary production from the paradigm of 'world literature'. Additionally, these studies propose alternative critiques to the limitations of models such as Casanova's the 'world republic of literature' and to methodologies based on instruments such as Moretti's 'graphs, maps and trees'. In this way, some of the leading figures of Latin American literary and cultural studies question the legitimacy of this new interpretative model and its ideological and epistemological implications for the case of Latin America.'

Download or read book Re mapping World Literature written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
Download or read book World Literature Cosmopolitanism Globality written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel written by Juan E. De Castro and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of César Aira and Chico Buarque, to those of younger novelists such as Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Alejandro Zambra, and Valeria Luiselli. Yet, for many readers, the Latin American novel is often read in a piecemeal manner delinked from the traditions, authors, and social contexts that help explain its evolution. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel draws literary, historical, and social connections so that readers will come away understanding this literature as a rich and compelling canon. In forty-five chapters by leading and innovative scholars, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction, helping readers to see the region's intrinsic heterogeneity--for only with a broader view can one fully appreciate García Márquez or Bolaño. This volume charts the literary tradition of the Latin American novel from its beginnings during colonial times, its development during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, and its flourishing from the 1960s onward. Furthermore, the Handbook explores the regions, representations of identity, narrative trends, and authors that make this literature so diverse and fascinating, reflecting on the Latin American novel's position in world literature.

Download or read book World Editors written by Gustavo Guerrero and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 of translation, mediators and gatekeepers, allowing insights into the processes that enable books to cross borders and to be transformed into globally circulating commodities. The book focusses both on material (re)sources of literary archives, key actors in literary and cultural markets, prizes and book fairs, as well as on recent dimension of the digital age. Statements of some of the leading representatives of the global publishing world complement these analyses of the operations of selection and aggregation of value to literary texts.

Download or read book Centers and Peripheries in Romance Language Literatures in the Americas and Africa written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is center and periphery? How can centers and peripheries be recognized by their ontological and axiological features? How does the axiological saturation of a literary field condition aesthetics? How did these factors transform center-periphery relationships to the former metropolises of Romance literatures of the Americas and Africa? What are the consequences of various deperipheralization contexts and processes for poetics? Using theoretical sections and case studies, this book surveys and investigates the limits of globalization. Through explorations of the intercultural dynamics, the aesthetic contributions of former peripheries are examined in terms of the transformative nature of peripheries on centralities.
Download or read book Central American Literatures as World Literature written by Sophie Esch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the notion that Central American literature is a marginal space within Latin American literary and world literary production, this collection positions and discusses Central American literature within the recently revived debates on world literature. This groundbreaking volume draws on new scholarship on global, transnational, postcolonial, translational, and sociological perspectives on the region's literature, expanding and challenging these debates by focusing on the heterogenous literatures of Central America and its diasporas. Contributors discuss poems, testimonios, novels, and short stories in relation to center-periphery, cosmopolitan, and Internationalist paradigms. Central American Literatures as World Literature explores the multiple ways in which Central American literature goes beyond or against the confines of the nation-state, especially through the indigenous, Black, and migrant voices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book How Is World Literature Made written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over the concept of world literature, which has been taking place with renewed intensity over the last twenty years, is tightly bound up with the issues of global interconnectedness in a polycentric world. Most recently, critiques of globalization-related conceptualizations, in particular, have made themselves heard: to what extent is the concept of world literature too closely connected with the political and economic dynamics of globalization? Such questions cannot be answered simply through theoretical debate. The material side of the production of world literature must therefore be more strongly integrated into the conversation than it has been. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this volume demonstrates the concrete construction processes of world literature. To that purpose, archival materials have been analyzed here: notes, travel reports, and correspondence between publishers and authors. The Latin American examples provide particularly rich information about the processes of institutionalization in the Western world, as well as new perspectives for a contemporary mapping of world literature beyond the established dynamics of canonization.
