This cross-disciplinary approach to literary reading of any provenance based on an “experimental cosmopolitan” epistemology de- and recontextualizes the texts from the points of view of multiple cultures and historical moments, enriching interpretation and aesthetic experience beyond the backgrounds of the present reader and the origin of a particular literary discourse. Trusting the authority of an author or an “original” text and ignoring the fundamental plurilingualism of the literary experience obstructs the wealth of cosmopolitan reading in a globalized and fragmented world. A thorough critique of both local and overarching theories in clear dissent from the binaries of “decolonial theory” and the overextension of “nomadic theory” supports a precise research and teaching methodology at variance with past trends of Comparative and World Literature. Considering literature as the aestheticized use of language, which is universal, the many analyses provided can be extrapolated to other genres, eras, and cultural areas.

Arvustused

"In this challenge to multicultural business-as-usual, Didier Coste calls on us to develop better theoretical fictions about culture, identity, language, and belonging. Reading with an open mind is for him the upshot of a radically democratic engagement with the one anthropological universal, the unity of our species, led by an intuitive empathy for the not-yet-known. A thrilling discomfort emerges from the diversity of his chosen texts. A lifetime of thinking, reading, translating and dialogue has gone into these pages."

-Haun Saussy, University Professor, Comparative Literature and East Asian Studies, University of Chicago. Member, American Academy of Arts and Letters. Past President of the ACLA.

"As human beings, we are all born local and provincial, but the beautiful thing about human beings is the ability to transcend our natural or native provincialism. Didier Costes Cosmopolitan Approach to Literature is a powerful call to liberate us from the constraints and delusions of insular, fixed identities. With the danger of rising nationalism and even tribalism in our world today, nothing can be more timely, relevant, and important."

-Zhang Longxi, Chair Professor, Chinese and History, City University of Hong Kong. Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters and of Academia Europeae. Past President of the ICLA.
