Може ли поезията да бъде световна през ХХI век?
Can Poetry Be Global in the 21st Century?

Summary/Abstract: The debate on ‚what world literature is today‘ has been going on in the space of Western culture for a quarter of a century. For Bulgarian literary studies, however, it hasn’t really happened. There are many questions open for discussion: what is the difference between world literature and a national canon; what made two Bulgarian novels ‚world literature‘ in the last three years; and can poetry too (which poetry?) achieve world status in our century? The text brings these questions to the forefront and tries to answer them by analyzing well-known facts from literary life over the past 25 years. David Damrosch’s 2003 book ‚What is World Literature?‘ is used as the theoretical and methodological basis. The author defines her agreements and disagreements with Damrosch’s theory in the context of Bulgarian literature.
