NATIONAL LITERATURE IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION
NATIONAL LITERATURE IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: It has been suggested that literary history focused on reception can resolve the tension between aesthetic and historical criteria, especially if we concede that the concept of originality is deeply unstable and has both historical and aesthetic implications. The turn from impact to reception can be seen as a consequence of the fact that the ideal of the immanence of the self-contained work of art has fallen into disrepute. It is quite possible that a national literature does not lend itself as a subject to narrative history, just as the identity of an author’s output or the continuity of the history of a genre can be questioned.
