Rather than reducing the project of situating Hungarian literature as world literature to a search for causal, mechanical and hierarchical types of influence exerted by world literature on Hungarian literature, or investigating the latter’s sporadic occurrences on the 'great stage' of literature in the major languages, the volume offers a more complex and nuanced way to reveal the multimodal relationships they form. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthors in this volume consider the Hungarian national literature as an open geo-poetical and geopolitical space, which is at once wider and smaller than the monolingual, nation-state oriented, territorially closed frame of observation that characterizes most national literary historiography. In this intersectional space, the geopolitical reading discloses local transformations of broader poetical or ideological movements and their feedback into the world system, the geopolitical contexts behind poetic forms and narrative constructions. \u003ci\u003eHungarian Literature as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e draws a vital link between the collecting and curating practices that preserve and disseminate Hungarian literature and a theoretical conversation that is being held in English, on an international level, about the future of the concept of 'world literature'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56539078197592,"sku":"9781501393129","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501393129_ed8a9ed9-23f3-40db-8aac-c65d4c0a8b4c.jpg?v=1779866155","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hungarian-literature-as-world-literature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
