Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]with the increasing "inclusion" of the word "world", literature has gained a critical self-reflection added to its precedent function across countries, cultures, religions, and languages.In other words, the "world literature" pictured in their political manifesto is not as much a eulogy as a foreboding sense of its potential threat, which is more immediate to Marx and Engels than the communist spectre haunting Europe formed off the proletariat.[...]the focus is shifted from a Goethean apolitical body of literature to the politicised world with its national boundaries, industrial clusters and marketing networks that will soon shape a globalisation split between the dominant and the dominated.[...]in one of her recent articles, Sapiro begins by summarising the increasing thrust in any discourse of world literature today: "If we consider world literature as referring to those literary works that circulate beyond their national borders (Damrosch), then we have to ask how these works circulate, and what obstacles they encounter (Apter)" (Sapiro 81).According to Casanova, Paris in the 1900s was thus key to Beckett's success as a cosmopolitan writer, because "its verdicts were the most autonomous (that is, the least national) in the literary world, it constituted a court of final appeal", particularly when it came to Beckett's rejection of the aesthetics established by the Irish writers who preceded him (Casanova 2004, 95).
