Globalization in Literature

This collection of essays has been written in the context of rethinking the field of literature and cultural studies in an era when cultural identity is changing. The point of departure is that today we are developing post-national constellations and cosmopolitan selves. Through a number of articles on literary works, films, and visual arts, this book offers perspectives on cultural encounters marked by globalisation. The main topics covered are human rights, world literature, cosmopolitanism, migration, translingualism and post-national identities.
