Traditionally, world literature has been mainly, or even exclusively,European literature, and even literature in a few “major” European languagesat that. Of late, efforts have been made to reconfigure world literatureby expanding its canon and re-thinking the relationships betweenworks, authors, and literatures. Most visible in this respect have been anumber of anthologies of world literature. However, while definitelyreaching beyond Europe in their selections, these anthologies also reconfigureliterature around the world, and by implication the world itself,according to the needs or interests of their makers and users, oftenagainst the ostensible theoretical points of departure or intentions ofthose makers. Not coincidentally, such anthologies originate from theUnited States, and are in English. As such they risk replacing one“centrism” with another while claiming to do the opposite. Instead, andwithout exactly opting for a “United Nations” version of world literature,we need to truly “world” world literature. However, how to do this, andwhat the role of English and English-language literature might be in this,raises major questions.

Abstract
Traditionally, world literature has been mainly, or even exclusively,European literature, and even literature in a few “major” European languagesat that. Of late, efforts have been made to reconfigure world literatureby expanding its canon and re-thinking the relationships betweenworks, authors, and literatures. Most visible in this respect have been anumber of anthologies of world literature. However, while definitelyreaching beyond Europe in their selections, these anthologies also reconfigureliterature around the world, and by implication the world itself,according to the needs or interests of their makers and users, oftenagainst the ostensible theoretical points of departure or intentions ofthose makers.
