Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- CHAPTER 1 World Literature in the Soviet Union: Infrastructure and Ideological Horizons -- CHAPTER 2 On the Worldliness of Russian Literature -- CHAPTER 3 Armenian Literature as World Literature: Phases of Shaping It in the Pre-Soviet and Stalinist Contexts -- CHAPTER 4 The Roles of “Form” and “Content” in World Literature as Discussed by Viktor Shklovsky in His Writings of the Immediately Post- Revolutionary Years -- CHAPTER 5 “The Treasure Trove of World Literature”: Shaping the Concept of World Literature in Post-Revolutionary Russia -- CHAPTER 6 The Birth of New out of Old: Translation in Early Soviet History -- CHAPTER 7 International Literature: A Multi-language Soviet Journal as a Model of “World Literature” of the Mid-1930s USSR -- CHAPTER 8 Translating China into International Literature: Stalin-Era World Literature Beyond the West -- CHAPTER 9 World Literature and Ideology: The Case of Socialist Realism -- CHAPTER 10 Premature Postcolonialists: The Afro-Asian Writers Association (1958–1991) and Its Literary Field -- CHAPTER 11 Can “Worldliness” Be Inscribed into the Literary Text?: Russian Diasporic Writing in the Context of World Literature -- Contributors -- Index
Summary: This is the first volume to consistently examine Soviet engagement with world literature from multiple institutional and disciplinary perspectives: intellectual history, literary history and theory, comparative literature, translation studies, diaspora studies. Its emphasis is on the lessons one could learn from the Soviet attention to world literature; as such, the present volume makes a significant contribution to current debates on world literature beyond the field of Slavic and East European Studies and foregrounds the need to think of world literature pluralistically, in a manner that is not restricted by the agendas of Anglophone academe.
