{"product_id":"cvdwl-northern-crossings","title":"Cvdwl Northern Crossings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis open access book uses Swedish literature and the Swedish publishing field as recurring examples todescribe and analyse the role of the literary semi-peripheral position in world literature from various perspectives and on meso, micro and macro levels, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. This includes the role of translation in the semi-periphery and the conditions under which literature travels to and from that position. The focus is not on Sweden, as such, but rather on the semi-peripheral transitional space as exemplified by the Swedish case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Consisting of three co-written chapters, this study sheds light on what might be called the semi-peripheral condition or the semi-periphery as an area of transition. As part of the Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures series, it makes continuous use of the concepts of ''cosmopolitan'' and ''vernacular'' – or rather, the processual terms, \u003ci\u003ecosmopolitanization\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003evernacularization – \u003c\/i\u003ewhich provide an overall structure to the analysis of literature and literary phenomena. In this way, the authors show that the semi-periphery is an ideal point of departure to further the understanding of world literature, because it is a place where the cosmopolitan (the literary universal) and the vernacular (the rootedness in a particular culture or place) interact in ways that have not yet been thoroughly explored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317044486526,"sku":"NW9781501374241","price":99.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781501374241.jpg?v=1778599004","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/cvdwl-northern-crossings","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
