By bringing in different degrees of circulation in different regions and languages this collection shows that while literary centers do exist in what Pascale Casanova calls the international literary space their power does not operate unilaterally and modes of intercultural circulation do exist beyond their control. The title World Literature in Motion highlights the fact that world literature is always already the product of certain modes of conceptual and material mobility and mediation.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 15,0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, language: English, abstract: The following work will firstly give a brief definition of the term ¿evil¿ and its representations in literature, secondly it will analyze Joanne Kathleen Rowling¿s depiction of evil in her Harry Potter-series by means of Lord Voldemort¿s development, actions and character on the basis of the storyline and her literary language in order to emphasize how she succeeded in creating the ultimate evil character. Afterwards, a brief comparison of Voldemort and two other antagonists, William Shakespeare¿s Iago and Suzanne Collins¿ President Snow will be elaborated to shortly delineate the commonalities of this characters and the development of villains in literature. Although the last movie has been published in 2011 and the last book in 2007, Joanne Kathleen Rowling¿s Harry Potter-series still manages to be up-to-date, so that its main plot and leading roles have become some sort of general knowledge. Rowling succeeded in creating such a prepossessing and impressive fictional world, that it made her to one of the wealthiest women of the world. Despite the fact that the story itself prepossesses its readers, the characters that Rowling created are impressive and famous. Especially Rowling¿s antagonist Lord Voldemort tends to remain on the reader¿s and society¿s mind due to his immense cruelty.

The essays in this volume focus on new approaches to how literature reflects and creates 'world' and thus to the issues of literature 'and' world and literature 'as' world. They discuss questions of the implied worldview of literary texts on the one hand and the way literature may create 'world' through self-referentiality and the establishing of intermedial relations with other arts on the other. In the latter cases works will foreground their own fictionality and/or mediality and their status as artefacts and as the products of a poietic act of creation. Illustrating the potential of new approaches and developments for describing the nature of the worlds devised in fictional texts the authors pay tribute to a scholar whose work has been foundational regarding the study of metareferentiality in literature and the arts contemporary intermediality studies and the study of implied worldviews in literary texts: Werner Wolf.

The ground-breaking essays gathered in this volume argue that global paradigms of World Literature often referencing the major metropolitan centres of cultural and literary production do not always accommodate voices from the margins and writing within minority genres such as the short story. Katherine Mansfield is a supreme example of a writer who is positioned between a number of different borders and boundaries: between modernism and postcolonialism; between the short story and other genres (like the novella or poetry or non-fiction such as letters diaries reviews and translations); between Europe and New Zealand. In pointing to the global production and dissemination of short stories and in particular the growing reception of Mansfield's work worldwide since her death in 1923 the volume shows how literary modernism can be read in a myriad of ways in terms of the contemporary category of new World Literature.

Der Band schließt an die aktuellen Diskussionen über Weltliteratur in der Komparatistik an. Nachdem Weltliteratur lange Zeit gewissermaßen als Prädikat für große Literatur galt wird mit diesem Begriff mehr und mehr eine systematische Ausweitung des komparatistischen Interesses über altbekannte rein (west)europäisch definierte Felder hinaus verbunden. Das geschieht auf drei Ebenen die im Band thematisiert werden: 1) der Entdeckung von kleinen Literaturen (z.B. auch osteuropäische Literaturen) 2) der Ausdehnung des Kanons auf außereuropäische Literaturen (z.B. afrikanische oder asiatische Literaturen) 3) der Diskussion über die Methodik dieser Ausweitung insofern die Ausdehnung des Lektürekorpus auf außereuropäische Literatur die Problematik der Sprachenkompetenz ebenso wie die der Größe des Kanons noch einmal dringlich erscheinen lässt. Die Artikel des Bandes behandeln u.a. chinesische Literatur und Kunst estische lettische luxemburgische und slowenische Literatur als Weltliteratur sowie Theorien der afrikanischen Literatur.

This book foregrounds entanglement as a guiding concept in Derrida's work and considers its implications and benefits for ecocritical thought. Ergin introduces the notion of ecological text to emphasize textuality as a form of entanglement that proves useful in thinking about ecological interdependence and uncertainty. She brings deconstruction into a dialogue with social ecology and new materialism outlining entanglements in three strands of thought to demonstrate the relevance of this concept in theoretical terms. Ergin then investigates natural-social entanglements through a comparative analysis of the works of the American poet Juliana Spahr and the Turkish writer Latife Tekin. The book enriches our understanding of complicity and accountability by revealing the ecological network of material and discursive forces in which we are deeply embedded. It makes a significant contribution to current debates on ecocritical theory comparative literature and ecopoetics.

Exploring medical economic moral and literary ramifications this book engages critically with the notion that a pregnant woman could alter the development of her foetus with the power of her thoughts and feelings. Eighteenth-century authors sought urgently to define understand and control the concept of maternal imagination as they responded to and provoked fundamental questions about female intellect and the relationship between mind and body. Interrogating the multiple models of maternal imagination both separately and as a holistic set of socio-cultural components the author uncovers the discourse of maternal imagination across eighteenth-century drama popular print medical texts poetry and novels. This overdue rehabilitation of the pregnant woman in literature is essential reading for scholars of the eighteenth century gender and literary history.
