"World literature dwells in our time and in times past. As a treasured heritage of
artistic expression in oral, visual and written forms, it is an indelible part of
the story of evolution of human civilization. As a scholarly field, however, world
literature has had a rather sporadic presence in the disciplinary landscape of modern
universities, surging and receding in accordance with political and socio-cultural
transformations. The contemporary era is witnessing one such resurgence. The term
world appears to have made a spectacular re-entry as a literary critical rubric in
the twenty-first century. One hears of the 'world' all too frequently in academic
circles, and in ways that mark our current global conjuncture as, perhaps, the most
apposite moment for its articulation. One is reminded of Walter Benjamin's phrase
'the now of knowability' when certain historical periods offer just the right temporal
traction for an idea to gain rhetorical currency. The term 'world' now appears to
inhabit its true potential as the philological and literary home of maximal extension
and maximal connectivity"
