Explicitly expressed or implied, manifesting itself sometimes as dislocation and disorientation, the claiming of space by any symbolic means necessary is revealed as a constant effect of literary endeavors. In dialogue with geopolitics of culture, sociology and anthropology, attention to literary locations and orientations brings spatial particularity into the study of world literatures. These case studies demonstrate that four key terms (cosmopolitan, vernacular, location, orientation) can frame analyses of very different types of literary acts and texts in the contemporary period, allowing for distinctions that are not captured within the grids of other conceptual pairs like centre-periphery, local-global, postcolonial-metropolitan, North-South. With this framing, expressive practices in a wide range of regions - including Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific - are analysed in ways that bring out how spatiality is at stake in the cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCosmopolitan-vernacular dynamics in world literatures. 606 $aPlace (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aLiminality in literature 606 $aSpace and time in literature 606 $aCultural Anthropology, Literary Theory, Literary Studies, Comparative Literature 615 0$aPlace (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aLiminality in literature. 615 0$aSpace and time in literature. 615 4$aCultural Anthropology, Literary Theory, Literary Studies, Comparative Literature 676 $a809/.93358 702 $aEkelund$b Bo G. 702 $aMahmutovic$b Adnan 702 $aWulff$b Helena 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910687953503321 996 $aClaiming Space$93013937 997 $aUNINA
