If, rather than being rooted in sectarian identity politics, reading strategies for literary and cultural
practice have to be other-regarding, and not be cocooned within one’s self-same monolingual and
monocultural universes, it calls for translation and comparative literature – where one goes beyond
literary and cultural texts in one’s own language and reaches out to the other – to become mainstays
of such a practice. To what extent would an emphasis on going beyond one’s own identitarian literary
universes require one to align with the project of World Literature, considering further the question of access to ‘worlding’ and canonization in a deeply differential globalized world? The role played by
translation and comparative literature in leading pedagogic praxes beyond national monolingual
literatures towards the ethical and other-regarding project of World Literature will be examined in this
lecture with particular reference to the Bengali author Rabindranath Tagore’s views on the same.
This talk was part of the "Lectures in English Studies" programme of the Department of English at the ENS de Lyon and was organized by Vanessa Guignery.
