The essays in this volume suggest that an attentive reading of recent global literatures challenges the idea that our contemporary moment is best characterized as a timeless, instantaneous ?now?. The contributors to this book argue that global literatures help us to conceive of the contemporary as an always plural, heterogeneous, and contested temporality. Far from suggesting that we replace theories of an omnipresent ?end of history? with a traditional, single, diachronic timeline, this book encourages the development of such a timeline?s rigorous inverse: a synchronic, multi-faceted and multi-temporal history of the contemporary in literature, and thus of contemporary global literatures. It opens up the concept of the contemporary for comparative study by unlocking its temporal, logical, political, and ultimately aesthetic and literary complexity. 410 0$aNew Comparisons in World Literature,$x2634-6095 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aLiterature    606 $aComparative Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aPostcolonial/World Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aLiterature   . 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aPostcolonial/World Literature. 676 $a809 702 $aBrouillette$b Sarah$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNilges$b Mathias$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSauri$b Emilio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255087703321 996 $aLiterature and the Global Contemporary$92494596 997 $aUNINA
