Full Description
World Literature: Approaches, Practices, and Pedagogy combines theoretical explorations and pedagogy to explore approaches to teaching some of the key concepts, issues, and topics in world literary studies.
Recognising the evolving, and at times contested, meanings of 'world literature,' this book treats world literature as a mode of reading and one that provides opportunities to create a space for critical discussions and reflections on understanding, unpacking, and at times, challenging, some of the assumptions and practices in world literary studies. Contributors discuss a wide array of topics, including the role of translation and literary marketplace in global circulation of texts, the function and problematics of paratexts, questions of co-authorship in transnational contexts, debates on major/minor in world literature, cosmopolitanism, and the impact of English as a lingua franca on the development of the field.
Accompanied by reading questions, individual and group exercises, as well as suggested further readings, this collection offers a practical resource for instructors and an accessible guide to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students taking world literature courses in different parts of the world.
