Borderless No More? Schengen, Politicized Migration and the Unfinished Promise of Solidarity
The 2015 migration crisis produced partial path divergence within the Schengen Area rather than the supranational upgrading predicted by neofunctionalist theory. Instead of deeper communitarization, the crisis generated institutional asymmetries in responsibility allocation that fractured mutual trust and rendered automatic functional integration unsustainable in a policy domain marked by low transnational interdependence and high identity salien…
In the land of language’
In this interview, which focuses on the collection of short stories Sololand (Comma Press, 2025), the Iraqi author Hassan Blasim engages us with the big questions of history and refugee-life, language and the role of the writer, and of course humour. Blasim’s characters all find themselves in impossible positions. We follow characters such as the ISIS cook working undercover to retrieve ancient manuscripts from a desecrated site, and the refugee …
Effective Sustainable Development Governance
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda was adopted in 2015, aiming to achieve its objectives by 2030. With less than 6 years remaining, the need for effective governance to implement and enforce sustainable development policies is crucial. Effective governance of the SDGs is crucial for global sustainability. This article explores governance areas where some progress toward sustainable development has been made and examine…
The True, the Good, the Spiteful
This article employs the Bosnian notion of “inat,” often translated as spite, to perform auto(bio)psy of my writing about refugee lives in Sweden. Methodologically speaking, I begin with an assertion that the hybrid form of auto(bio)psy, a method that entangles creative and critical reflection, helps capture what it means to live with the traumas of war, especially in the face of genocide denial and genocide triumphalism. The value of such a refl…

Ms. Marvel
Coming from the perspective of World Literature Studies, this essay views Ms. Marvel series as post-9/11 Muslim-American work whose iconography is deeply transnational. Situated in what Alexander Beecroft termed national literary ecology, Ms. Marvel contains strong features of what the anthropologist Ulf Hannerz called ‘transnational connections.’ Ms. Marvel is built, at its core, around the problematic of superhero iconography in relation to the…
Hackneyed phrases
Tayeb Salih’s world-literary classic Mawsim al-hijra ilā al-shimāl (1966) has served World Literature as the preeminent text of postcolonialism, touching on issues of identity, nationality, culture, hybridity, literature, language, gender, sexuality, historiography, and migration. It has been less understood as a product of translation. This paper looks at Denys Johnson-Davies’ English translation Season of Migration to The North (1969) and the d…
“Marvel vs. World”
Following Eric Hayot’s argument that modernity is a theory of the world as the “universal,” this paper traces the “world concept” in Marvel Comics industry ( MC ) and its synergy with the film industry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ). Speaking from the field of World Literature Studies, I show how superhero comics activate the “world concept” through the global dissemination of the infinitely stretchable Marvel Universe. My argument is t…
How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Trivas with Words
A Bosnian Swedish writer considers how extreme nuances and barely perceptible differences, which signify no change in the core meaning of a word, still evoke connotations that widen gaps between us rather than allowing us to trivas with words
Publication, Circulation and the Vernacular
This introduction positions the essays in this special issue in relation to Pascale Casanova’s model of inequality and value in the world republic of letters. Arguing that the vernacular has been an overlooked or underelaborated concept in subsequent world literary theorizations, the essay then proceeds to discuss the shifting value and nature of the vernacular – a concept that only has meaning if it is understood relationally. Both the vernacula…
Towards a poetics of editing for the twenty-first century
Robert Gottlieb said that ‘the editor’s relationship to a book should be an invisible one but invisible or not, the implication is nonetheless that it should exist’. This article examines the writer–editor relationship that Gottlieb describes as ‘fraught with difficulty’ (but equally encouraging of what Toni Morrison calls ‘imaginative recklessness’) from the perspective, as Barthes might have it, of both the ‘ones who write’ and also ‘the ones w…
In orbit
Chilean author Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) has achieved considerable critical and commercial success among a global English readership. Breaking into the US market, which has an important mediating role for the international circulation of texts, is a rare feat for a non-Anglophone author and requires some explanation. This paper looks at the rise of Bolaño in terms of major theories on world literature. We find that his success fits into a combin…

Comics, War, and Ordinary Miracles
After meeting at a short-fiction conference, Adnan Mahmutović and Lucy Durneen began talking to one another about his childhood love of comics and his efforts to preserve them during the Bosnian War (1992-95). Durneen encouraged Mahmutović to write an essay about these experiences and, inspired by their conversation, wrote a connected though independent story of her own. Here they join the two, creating a hybrid essay that braids together their t…
The Origins of Smudges
Hospitalized while on vacation in Turkey, the author encounters a Babel of languages and, in old photographs and smudged bedsheets, traces of a past that both includes and eludes him
