{"product_id":"literatures-of-the-world-beyond-world-literature-9789004395541","title":"Literatures of the World: Beyond World Literature","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with Erich Auerbach’s reflections on the Goethean concept of World Literature, Ottmar Ette unfolds the theory and practice of Literatures of the World. Today, only those literary theories that are oriented upon a history of movement are still capable of doing justice to the confusing diversity of highly dynamic, worldwide transformations. This is because they examine transareal pathways in the field of literature. This volume captures literary processes of exchange and transformation between the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific as well as the interplay of different ways of narrating space and time. Thus, this volume speaks from a fractal point of view and unfolds multiple perspectives. Literatures of the World allows the reader to think in different logical frameworks at the same time, therefore shaping our future on the basis of the diversity of humankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Preface: Beyond World Literature  List of Figures  Part 1 Theory – On the Way to a Philology of the Literatures of the World   1 “Mimesis”: Perspectives from Erich Auerbach’s Philology of World Literature toward a Coming Philology of the Literatures of the World  In Dante’s World  In Auerbach’s World  In Woolf’s, Proust’s, and Joyce’s World  The World of World History  The World of World Literature  The World of the Literatures of the World   2 From the Republic of World Literature to a Multilogical Philology of the Literatures of the World  World Literature versus National Literature  The World of the American World of Expression  Life of (and in) World Literature  Beyond World Literature: The Literatures of the World  On the Multilogical Life of the Literatures of the World  Part 2 Vectors – Political and Critical Potentials of Relational Philology   3 Before and after the “Happy Revolution”: Langsdorff, the Berlin Debate on the New World, and Its Impact on Scientific Expeditions  Paradigm Shift: Plenty and Pitfalls (Fülle und Fallen) of the First Journeys of Exploration  Complementary Epistemology: Seeing, Writing, Traveling  Politics of Knowledge: The Berlin Debate on the New World  Politics of Opposites: “New” Nature and “Old” Culture   4 Journey\/Landscapes: (W)Orte (Words\/Places) on the Transit of a Transareal Travel Literature  Fleeing Landscapes  Nomadic Knowledge  Yearned-for Connections  Landscapes of Theory  Island Landscapes of the Tropics  Endings and Beginnings of the Travel Report  The Task of the Central Perspective   5 Carnival and Other Catastrophes: Nature as Culture and New Orleans as Global Archipelago  On Setting and Un-seating the Opposition of Nature and Culture  Political Ecology and Ecology of the Literatures of the World  From Sustainability to the Laboratory of Life and the Living  On That Which Is Natural in Natural Catastrophes  Catastrophe, Festivity, and Carnival  Between Continent and Caribbean: Landscapes of Theory  New Orleans as Global Archipelago  Part 3 Archipelago I – Occidentes-Orientes   6 Roland Barthes or the Multiplication of the East  Hexagonal Cartographies  European Cartographies  Mediterranean Cartographies  Far-Eastern Cartographies  Multiplied Cartographies   7 The Transareality of the Mediterranean: The Mediterranean as Migratory Space  Uruk: Cityscape and Migratory Space  The Mediterranean as Island World and Transareal Projection  Travel Landscapes between Orient and Occident  In Greece: The Mobility of Literary Geography  Origins: In the Tension-Field between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean  Transit: The “Mid-Land Sea” and the Whole World  Part 4 TimeSpaces – On the Life-Knowledge of the Literatures of the World   8 LebensMitte(l) Literatur – Midst of Life, Means of Life: On the Reading of Life as a Means of Living: Considerations in Connection to Honoré de Balzac’s “La Peau de Chagrin”  Literatur Leben LebensMittel (Literature Life Means of Life)  Leben Lesen Leben-Wollen (Life Reading Desire-to-Live)  Leben Lebenswerk Totalität (Life Life’s-Work Totality)  Leben-Wollen LebensMitte LebensMittel (Desire-to-Live Middle of Life Means of Living)  Leben Lesen Literatur (Life Reading Literature)   9 Unrest as a Driving Force: On Vectoricity and Economy of a Monumental Feeling  On the Mechanics of the Unruh(e)  On the Dynamics of Unrest  On the Maintenance of Unrest  On the Choreography of Unrest  On the Game of Unrest  On the Hellish Paradise of Unrest  On the Economy of Depletion in Unrest   10 Lyric as Concentrated Movement: Miniaturization and Archipelagization in Poetry: With the Example of a Poetic Writing without a Fixed Abode by José F.
