| Summary |
"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."-- Provided by publisher |
