Product Information

Do the tions of World Lingua Franca and World Literature w need to be firmly relegated to an imperialist-cum-colonialist past? Or can they be rehabilitated in a practical and equitable way that fully endorses a politics of recognition? For scholars in the field of languages and literatures, this is the central dilemma to be faced in a world that is increasingly globalized. In this book, the possible banes and benefits of globalization are illuminated from many different viewpoints by scholars based in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Among their more particular topics of discussion are: language spread, language hegemony, and language conservation; literary cans, literature and identity, and literary anthologies; and the bearing of the new communication techlogies on languages and literatures alike. Throughout the book, however, the most frequently explored opposition is between languages or literatures perceived as major and others perceived as mir , two terms which are sometimes qualitative in contation, sometimes quantitative, and sometimes both at once, depending on who is using them and with reference to what.
