Going beyond the binary opposition of “major” and “minor” literatures, the ultraminor encompasses the literatures of smaller but vibrant regional and linguistic communities. Using cases as varied as the literatures of Malta, Mauritius, and the Faroe Islands, contemporary Nahuatl novels, Kafka in Prague, and Shakespeare in Naples, the ten essays in this volume take up questions of scale and circulation, the interplay of languages and dialects, and ultraminor writers’ resistance to translation and their reliance on it. Ultraminor World Literatures will be of interests to students and scholars of comparative and world literature and to anyone concerned with the ongoing life of unique cultural communities around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors    Introduction: Defining the Ultraminor   Bergur Rønne Moberg and David Damrosch    At the Margins of the Minor: Rethinking Scalarity, Relationality, and Translation   Andrea Bachner    Francophone Acadian Literature as an Ultraminor Literature: The Case of Novelist France Daigle   Andrea Cabajsky    Third-Wheel Literatures: A Multilingual World Seen through Contemporary Nahua Literature   Matylda Figlerowicz    Semitic and Latin Elements in the Language and Literature of Malta   Oliver Friggieri    The Ultraminor to Be or Not to Be: Deprivation and Compensation Strategies in Faroese Literature   Bergur Rønne Moberg    Life in a Dead Language: Modern Sanskrit as an Ultraminor Literature   Matthew Nelson    The Rainbow Isle and the City of Rain: Foreigners in Mauritian and Norwegian Ultraminor Genre Fiction   Rashi Rohatgi    Global Masterpieces and Italian Dialects: Shakespeare in Neapolitan and vicentino   Elisa Segnini    Ultraminor Literature in a Major Language: An Indian Way of Thinking the Case of Chemmeen in Malayalam   Bhavya Tiwari    The Archeology of Minor Literature: Towards the Concept of the Ultraminor   Veronika Tuckerová","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210849837399,"sku":"9789004522077","price":47.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ultraminor-world-literatures-9789004522077","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
