Description

Explore new perspectives on global culture with World Literature After Empire: Rethinking Universality in the Long Cold War. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work challenges the idea that the concept of a "world" in cultural and philosophical terms belongs solely to Western traditions. As the world moved through the Cold War and the era of decolonization, many historical attempts emerged to redefine world literature, world art, and philosophical universality from an anticolonial viewpoint. This book contributes to vital modern discussions regarding the postcolonial, translatability, and world literature. By presenting a series of interdisciplinary and multilingual case studies, the text examines these shifts across Europe, the United States, and China. It provides a deep look at how different regions reinvented their relationship to global concepts during a period of massive political and social change. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how global identities are constructed and understood outside of traditional Western frameworks.
