초록
The advent of a global literary market has brought the flourishing field of world literature in its wake. But is world literature really as inclusive and diverse as it is now fashionable to say it is? This paper asks whether we have good reason to believe that theories of world literature recognize the “minor” in rethinking the universal—or whether some actually reinforce structural conditions that made certain literatures “minor” in the first place. It identifies the script as a key site of minoritization and discusses the way in which Anglo-centric translation practices tyrannize “minors” into being. By attending to the problems of minoritization, this paper attempts to generate a new dynamic for thinking about literatures of the world.
Abstract
The advent of a global literary market has brought the flourishing field of world literature in its wake. But is world literature really as inclusive and diverse as it is now fashionable to say it is? This paper asks whether we have good reason to believe that theories of world literature recognize the “minor” in rethinking the universal—or whether some actually reinforce structural conditions that made certain literatures “minor” in the first place. It identifies the script as a key site of minoritization and discusses the way in which Anglo-centric translation practices tyrannize “minors” into being. By attending to the problems of minoritization, this paper attempts to generate a new dynamic for thinking about literatures of the world.
