No. 1 (2022): World Literature and the Circulation of Art

Ed: Amândio Reis, Stefano Evangelista

The inaugural issue of Compendium sets out to combine the growing awareness of a transmedia environment with the scales of comparison of world literature and their contribution to present developments in the study of production, circulation, and translation. It also responds to the persistent hesitation of world literature to think of literature beyond its own confines. This first issue of Compendium brings together a selection of essays which propose to investigate artistic processes within world literature, connecting the literary with other spheres of art and culture, as well as exploring the fluctuating limits of “text”, the limits of reading and the changing contexts of reception.
