This project investigates the complexities of world literature by examining multilingual literary practices in North India, Morocco, and Ethiopia. It aims to challenge the dominance of English and propose a more nuanced understanding of literary geographies and histories, focusing on local contexts and multilingualism.
“World literature is literature that circulates globally.
It is mostly in English.
Its main genre is the novel.” These are caricatures of how World literature as a set of discourses is shaping the field of literary studies, but in fact Non-Western literatures are positioned with reference to a single global timeline and a single map, and translations supposedly ensure that worthy texts enter the global canon.
What does not circulate globally is provincial, not good enough, not “world literature”…
