Multilingualism in World Literatures

In contemporary theorization the very notion of world literature is becoming increasingly monolingual as a result of market forces and global English. Challenging contemporary linguistic hierarchies, this workshop explores multilingualism in the context of world literatures. Does multilingualism constitute a particular world literary form or theme? Can multilingualism be analyzed in terms of a site of intersection between vernacular and cosmopolitan dynamics? Is there a particular creative potential in multilingualism that comes to the fore in literature? Ranging across such questions, this workshop offers participants the opportunity to engage with the diverse and plural linguistic forms, dialects and vernaculars of world literature. 13:00- 14:15 Key-note Jane Hiddleston “Writing in the Languages of the World: Language, Literature, and World in Edouard Glissant’s Late Theoretical Writings” 14:15-14:45 Coffee 14:45-15:45 Julie Hansen: “Tolstoy’s Transmesis and the Functions of French in War and Peace”; Julia Tidigs: “Multilingualism, music and retranslation in Monika Fagerholm’s The American Girl” 15:45-16:00 Coffee 16:00- 17:30 Stefan Helgesson: "Multilingual Senghor" ; Sally Anderson Boström: “Multilingual Murayama”; Christina Kullberg: “’That’s not his name’: place, world and ecopoetics”
