  • Disoriented Disciplines: China, Latin America, and the Shape of World Literature

    Andrea Bachner•ARTICLE•2026

    Rosario Hubert’s Disoriented Disciplines: China, Latin America, and the Shape of World Literature joins the still select but increasing (and increasingly important) corpus of cultural analyses of the interactions between Chinese and Latin American cultures. It does so mainly from the methodological perspective of world literature, namely by tracing and reflecting on some of the complex histories of cultural circulation from China to Latin America…

  • Antígonas: Writing from Latin America

    Gavin Arnall•ARTICLE•2026

    Winner of the 2024 American Comparative Literature Association René Wellek Prize for best book in the field, Moira Fradinger’s Antígonas: Writing from Latin America is an extraordinary achievement in archival research and scholarly rigor. The book assembles a corpus of almost eighty dramatic texts written between 1824 and 2015 that strategically “dismember” and “cannibalize” fragments of the Sophoclean Antigone myth insofar as they can be made us…

  • Bépp làkk rafet na: Textual Estrangement, Vernacular Affinities

    T Warner•ARTICLE•2026

    This article examines the enigmatic afterlife of a widely circulating Wolofal verse—“bépp làkk rafet na”—commonly attributed to the early twentieth-century poet Muusaa Ka, and long mobilized by Senegalese writers and activists advocating for the value of writing in Wolof. Taking up Annette Damayanti Lienau’s invitation to consider ʿajam as a ground of comparison, the essay uses this fragment to explore the relationship between Wolof’s two major s…

  • The K-Effect: Romanization, Modernism, and the Timing and Spacing of Print Culture

    Yurou Zhong•ARTICLE•2026

    Christopher GoGwilt’s The K-Effect treats the use of the letter K in romanization as a searchlight that illuminates how alphabetic writing both standardizes and destabilizes the colonial hierarchy of languages, scripts, and literatures, with continuing significance on the digitization of global print media in our times. This “double effect of romanization” (6) is the through line that supports the comparative study of canonical writers such as Jo…

  • “My devil muse shuns me for my Ajam”: Identity, Lyric, and Comparison with Abū ʿAṭāʾ al-Sindī

    Alexander Key•ARTICLE•2026

    The vast Arabic lexicographical tradition defines Ajam as the opposite of Arab, establishing a stable binary throughout the premodern Islamicate archive and into social media today. This essay focuses on a poet from Sindh, Abū ʿAṭāʾ al-Sindī, whose eighth-century lyric directly addressed race and identity and who became part of the Arabic canon. Abū ʿAṭāʾ wrote inside the imperial structure of the Arabic poem, a structure that—like the lexicograp…

  • On Ottoman Multilingualism and ʿ Ajamiyya as Creolization

    Mehtap Ozdemir•ARTICLE•2026

    This article assesses the affordances of creolization as a theoretical framework for examining the politics of difference in Islamicate multilingualism as modeled by Annette Damayanti Lienau’s Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference: Global Arabic and Counter-Imperial Literature. Centered around Arabic as a contact language of global significance, Lienau’s study mobilizes ‘ajam (for non-Arab peoples) and ‘ajamiyya (for non-Arabic languages) to pro…

  • Duende on Tape: Federico García Lorca and Gwendolyn MacEwen’s Recursive Aesthetics in Sound Media

    Katherine Mcleod, Emily Christina Murphy•ARTICLE•2026

    This article examines Canadian poet Gwendolyn MacEwen’s radio program, “Gwendolyn MacEwen Introduces” (April 26, 1969; Canadian Broadcasting Company [CBC] Radio) that features Federico García Lorca’s famous lecture “Juego y teoría del duende” (1930). We argue that recovering MacEwen and Lorca together cultivates what we call “recursive aesthetics” within sound media. This aesthetics stretches across the transnational context of Lorca’s translatio…

  • Lotus: Material Solidarities and the GDR Connection

    Lucy Gasser•ARTICLE•2026

    The Afro-Asian Writers’ Association and its journal Lotus are increasingly recognized as representing rich resources for better understanding literary Third-Worldism, the formation of postcolonial studies and a postcolonial canon, as well as the mutually constitutive relationship between postcolonialism and the Cold War. For most of its life, Lotus’s English and French editions were printed by the Solidarity Committee of the German Democratic Rep…

  • Arab and Non-Arab on the Manuscript Page: Thoughts on Annette Damayanti Lienau’s Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference

    R Ricci•ARTICLE•2026

    The article engages with Annette Damayanti Lienau’s Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference. Global Arabic and Counter-Imperial Literatures, a book that explores the role of Arabic in novel and suggestive ways. Lienau considers Arabic, long viewed outside the Middle East primarily as a language of devotion and theology, as a counter-imperial language in both African and Southeast Asian contexts. Viewing these so-called peripheries of the “Muslim W…

  • Abdulla Qahhor’s Lessons in Literature: Pedagogy, Imitation, and Authority in the Making of an “Uzbek Chekhov”

    Sabrina Jaszi•ARTICLE•2026

    Throughout his long career in Soviet letters, Uzbek writer Abdulla Qahhor (1907–1968) referred to the lessons he had learned from Anton Chekhov, the Russian writer he called “ustod” (master or teacher), leading him to be known as the “Uzbek Chekhov.” This article examines two foundational moments in Qahhor’s engagement with Chekhov—a 1939 article “Chexovdan o‘rganaylik” (Let’s learn from Chekhov) and a 1937 story “Adabiyot muallimi” (The Teacher …

  • Sacred Language, Creolized Difference

    Maru Pabón•ARTICLE•2026

    This article reads Raphaël Confiant’s 2012 novel Rue des Syriens (Syrian Street) alongside Annette Damayanti Lienau’s book Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference: Global Arabic and Counter-Imperial Literatures to trace a convergence between creolization theories and Islamic discourses of ʿajamiyya otherness. Through the figure of Wadi Abdallah, this article argues that Confiant elaborates an ethics of ethnolinguistic parity resonant with Lienau’s…

  • The Cyborg Caribbean: Techno–Dominance in Twenty–First–Century Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican Science Fiction

    Sandra M Casanova-Vizcaíno, Sandra Casanova-Vizcaíno•ARTICLE•2026

    In The Cyborg Caribbean: Techno-Dominance in Twenty-First-Century Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican Science Fiction, Samuel Ginsburg studies an extensive corpus of recent Hispanic Caribbean science fiction to understand how technology functions within systems of oppression. Techno-dominance, as he calls it, refers to “the ways technologies and technology-based rhetoric or imagery interact with, maintain, and facilitate colonization and authorita…

  • Writing Refuge Together: Collaborative Practices of Production and Circulation in Shatila Stories

    Núria Codina Solà•ARTICLE•2026

    This article explores how collaborative ways of making literature redefine literary texts as social processes, open up individual and canonical ideas of authorship, and create more immediate and relational modes of literary valuation and circulation. Focusing on contexts of displacement and using the Shatila Stories project (2018) as a case in point, the article examines the affordances and limitations of collaboration for emerging refugee author…

  • Brushing the Archive Against the Grain: The Politics of Remembrance in Eastern Europe

    Sven Spieker•ARTICLE•2026

    Cristina Vatulescu and Anke Pinkert’s studies join a growing body of art and scholarship that read Cold War police archives against the grain by connecting them with protest and dissent, complicating the traditional view of the archive as an institution that perpetuates the interests of state power. Both authors focus on the changes in Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s, including the large-scale opening of secret police archives, even as the…

  • Country of Words: A Transnational Atlas for Palestinian Literature

    Jeffrey Sacks•ARTICLE•2026

    Among the acts of the Israeli genocidal assault against the Palestinian people have been the sustained attacks upon archives, libraries, universities, schools, and museums in Gaza. These Israeli attacks upon Palestinian collective pedagogical and epistemic existence—what has been called “scholasticide”—is not new (United Nations Press Release, April 18, 2024). The present reiterates the past, from Israel’s theft of Palestinian books in 1948 and t…

  • Ajami Comparatism

    Nergis Ertürk•ARTICLE•2026

    Taking Annette Damayanti Lienau’s recently published book Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference: Global Arabic and Counter-Imperial Literatures as a starting point, this forum explores possible points of convergence between comparative literary studies and ajami studies, broadly understood. Contributors working at the intersections of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Javanese, Malay, Spanish, and Wolof studies were invited to reflect on the broader imp…

  • Dystopian Chronicles of Brazil’s Shift to the Far Right: B. Kucinski’s New Order and Its Collapse

    Georg Wink•ARTICLE•2026

    While Bolsonaro’s presidency (2019–2022) has received much scholarly attention, almost nobody has addressed this exceptional period in a work of fiction. The writer and political scientist B. Kucinski is an exception. His novels A nova ordem (The New Order), published in June 2019, six months into Bolsonaro’s presidency, and O colapso da nova ordem (The Collapse of the New Order), published in August 2022, three months before Bolsonaro’s failed r…

  • Gaining Sympathy and Shifting to the Right: The Literary Politics of the German-Speaking New Right

    Torsten Hoffmann•ARTICLE•2026

    No other political movement in Germany has engaged with literature as intensively in the twenty-first century as the New Right. Its protagonists publish and review fiction texts in various publishing houses, magazines, and blogs; devote supplements, podcasts, and videos to literature; and organize their own literature fairs and present themselves as a whole as a “reading movement.” The article presents the literary politics of the German New Righ…

  • This Isn’t Happening, Right?”: Satire, Spectacle, and Anti-Intellectualism in Don’t Look Up

    Stefanie Schäfer•ARTICLE•2026

    This contribution examines the metapolitics of the New Right as satirized in Don’t Look Up (2021). It contextualizes the film’s warning about the global climate crisis (epitomized in the arrival of a planet killer comet) in the day and age of the Trump presidency with the film’s metafictional commentary on the uses of satire to move audiences and citizens to action. In particular, the article addresses the workings of satire as a genre after the …

  • Libertarian Robinson: Exit Fantasies, Randian Heroism, and Political Aesthetics in Argentine New-Right Literature

    Patrick Eser•ARTICLE•2026

    This article begins with a literary-historical insight into the genre of the Robinsonade, emphasizing its function as a knowledge model for social philosophy and economic theory, particularly within the libertarian paradigm. This is followed by an analysis of Ricardo M. Rojas’s novel El señor Robinson (1998), which focuses on its literary-aesthetic aspects and its ideological functions as a socio-philosophical model. In the analysis of El señor R…

  • From Nazism to Nationalism: Tracing the Foreign and the Native in Fictional Accounts of the British Far Right

    Joanne Pettitt•ARTICLE•2026

    Often connected to collective memories of the Second World War, the popular perception of fascism in Britain is that it is a fundamentally foreign concern, at odds with the values of the British people and unlikely to take root in a country that extols tolerance and democracy. Nevertheless, Far-Right groups have existed on the peripheries of the British political landscape since the 1920s. This article argues that fictional works that depict the …

  • Dismantling Far-Right Revisionism: Critical Approaches to the Memory of the Fascist Past in Francesca Melandri’s Sangue Giusto

    Guido Bartolini•ARTICLE•2026

    The article examines Francesca Melandri’s novel Sangue giusto (2017) as a critical intervention in Italian memory culture, focusing on the novel’s engagement with Far-Right revisionist narratives and the enduring legacy of Italy’s Fascist and colonial past. The article analyzes the novel’s critical representation of Far-Right activism, and it shows that Sangue giusto transcends traditional antifascist critiques by adopting a perspective rooted in…

    Lena Seauve•ARTICLE•2026

    The introduction to the special issue on “The Metapolitics of Fiction: New-Right Narratives in Europe and the Americas” provides an overview of current and historical developments in New-Right movements in Europe and the Americas, with a special focus on their cultural politics. Under the heading of “metapolitics,” a New-Right concept is introduced, according to which political change can be prepared and achieved through “cultural hegemony.” Narr…

    Aria Fani•ARTICLE•2025

    One night, the moth began to shareIts tale of love to those who were there:“Since I spread my wings in flight,The candle was my heart’s delight.And from the hour it stirred my soul,I made a vow and made it my goal.I swore as long as life shall stay,To worship it, come what may.”Any reader with modest familiarity with Persianate poetry would recognize the poem’s central metaphor in English translation: “the moth and the flame,” or parvāneh o shamʿ…

  • Solidarity and the Palestinian Cause: Indigeneity, Blackness, and the Promise of Universality

    Alex Lubin•ARTICLE•2025

    Zahi Zalloua could not have known that their book, Solidarity and the Palestine Cause, would be read as a field guide to the post-October 7, 2023, war on Gaza. Yet, as it mines the past 75 years of mythmaking about and dehumanization of Palestinians, it reads as an uncanny analysis of the present and future. This is because Zalloua’s rigorous and intelligent analysis of Palestinian disposability offers an analysis of the limits of liberal terms l…

  • To World, To Globalize--Comparative Literature's Crossroads

    Djelal Kadir•ARTICLE•2004•Cited by: 15

    The onus is on us, the practitioners of comparative literature, to examine the degree to which recurrent patterns of historical coincidence, between what we do and what is happening in the world, might entail a necessary complicity on our part. While we cannot deny that we are in the world, we can and do differ on how we are of it. A continuous self-examination and critical alertness to our place in the world is our only glimpse into our relation…

  • Breaking Discipline, Integrating Literature: Africa–China Relationships Reconsidered

    Karen Thornber, Karen Laura Thornber•ARTICLE•2016•Cited by: 10•References: 19

    Comparative literature has long defined itself as interdisciplinary, intercultural, and interlingual. These traits have led some to criticize the discipline as lacking discipline. Yet indiscipline—not to mention the intercultural, interlingual, and interdisciplinary—is a matter of perspective; in many ways, comparative literature is highly disciplined. So how then to break discipline more thoroughly? This article engages in one approach—incorpora…

  • The Language of Ruins: Greek and Latin Inscriptions on the Memnon Colossus

    In this elegant and compelling study, Patricia A. Rosenmeyer examines sixty-one Greek and forty-five Latin inscriptions, along with a bilingual one (Greek–Latin), honoring the marvelous epiphanies of a mythical hero from the Trojan War, Memnon. These 107 inscriptions (eleven of which were signed by women) were carved on a gigantic quartzite statue in Egypt over a span of nearly 200 years (c. AD 14–205). The marvel was that Memnon revealed himself…

  • Comparison and Translation: A Perspective from Actor-Network Theory

    Rita Felski•ARTICLE•2016•Cited by: 9•References: 3

    What can scholars of comparative literature learn from other fields about theories and practices of comparison? This article turns to actor-network theory (ANT) and its explorations of translation, comparison, and similar terms. ANT, it argues, offers an intriguing angle on such modes of relation. In literary studies, comparison has often been subject to stringent critique, accused of imposing false equivalences and oppressive forms of homogeniza…

    Much of the attention Haiti has received in the last decade from English-language scholars has focused on the impact of the Haitian Revolution and its immediate aftermath on the cultures of the Atlantic world. Fewer have explored the influence of the event on Atlantic culture and politics in the twentieth century. Philip Kaisary's book is one such contribution to a fuller assessment of the place Haiti occupies in Western culture at large. In his …

  • Local Rock and Global Plastic: World Ecology and the Experience of Place

    Ursula K Heise•ARTICLE•2004•Cited by: 9•References: 9

    For several decades, the best-known slogan of the environmentalist movement has been "Think globally, act locally." This double imperative derives from environmentalists' attempts to propagate images of global ecology that might help to make the functioning of the planet as a whole accessible to average citizens, as well as to connect such an understanding with the experience of local places. 1 From the enormous ease and frequency with which this…

  • Introduction: The Gender and Queer Politics of Translation: New Approaches

    William J Spurlin•ARTICLE•2014•Cited by: 7

    In recent years, we have come to understand translation as exceeding the exact reproduction of a text from one language into another and as intimately intertwined with new forms of textual and cultural production. Arguing against models of translation as pure fidelity to an original text, Walter Benjamin asserts in "The Task of the Translator" that translation is, at best, a contingent and provisional way of coming to terms with the foreignness o…

  • Toward Transpacific Ecopoetics: Three Indigenous Texts

    In this article, I employ "the Pacific" as a contact zone, method, and concept with which to examine the dynamic, shifting relationship between land and sea that allows indigenous literature in the transpacific context to engage all of its ecopoetic complexity. The Pacific is the largest oceanic divide on earth. In recent years, issues around global capitalism, national identity, community, and the ecology of the Pacific region have sparked intri…

All three genres cultivated a metapoetics for praising rulers and patrons that bolstered po…

  • Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability

    David Damrosch•REVIEW•2014•Cited by: 6

    It is surely a mark of some kind of success when a movement begins to be attacked by its own participants. We may recall the surrealist debates of the 1920s, with their rival manifestos, counterblasts, and excommunications, or Roland Barthes's irritated insistence in the mid-1970s that he was not after all a structuralist. Emily Apter's new book suggests that the resurgent study of world literature has achieved a comparable standing today. Hersel…
