As an adaptable comparative fulcrum for literary studies, the notion of the cosmopolitan-vernacular exchange accommodates also highly localised literatures. In this way, it redresses what has repeatedly been identified as a weakness of the world literature paradigm, namely the one-sided focus on literature that accumulates global prestige or makes it on the Euro-American book market. How has the vernacular been defined historically? How is it inflected by gender? How are the poles of the vernacular and the cosmopolitan distributed spatially or stylistically in literary narratives? How are cosmopolitan domains of literature incorporated in local literary communities? What are the effects of translation on the encoding of vernacular and cosmopolitan values? Ranging across a dozen languages and literature from five continents, these are some of the questions that the contributions attempt to address." 410 0$aStockholm English studies. 606 $aLiterature & literary studies$2bicssc 606 $aLiterature: history & criticism$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary studies: general$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary studies: from c 1900 -$2bicssc 615 7$aLiterature & literary studies 615 7$aLiterature: history & criticism 615 7$aLiterary theory 615 7$aLiterary studies: general 615 7$aLiterary studies: from c 1900 - 676 $a800 700 $aHelgesson$b Stefan$01090560 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765759203321 996 $aWorld Literatures$93653535 997 $aUNINA
