Riassunto

The Global Literary Field is a collection of twelve articles dealing with the impact of globalization on literary production. Focusing especially on the social context of literature and employing comparative methodologies, all articles comment on the literary market as it functions today, highlighting unexpected and understudied commercial and symbolic exchanges between literary communities from different parts of the globe. Featuring the work of many scholars working from non-Eurocentric perspectives and with non-European languages, this collection constitutes a timely intervention in the ongoing debate about "world literature", which is so often dominated by scholars specializing exclusively in European literatures. The global literary field, as described in this collection, ranges from Atlantic Canada to Malaysia, from the Caribbean to Japan, and especially also across cyberspace. Dealing with both "serious" and "popular" literature and with the important issue of translation, this collection achieves a uniquely comprehensive coverage of a highly complex global phenomenon.
