Norsk verdenslitteratur

Hvordan blir norsk litteratur verdenslitteratur? Hva er det som gjør at noen forfattere og bøker når ut globalt, og hva kjennetegner deres vei ut i verden?

På dette tverrfaglige seminaret vil vi diskutere og utvikle måter å nærme seg slike spørsmål på innen verdenslitteratur, bokhistorie, resepsjons- og oversetterstudier. Bidragene tar utgangspunkt i et rikt kildemateriale på tvers av flere medier, fra bøker og presse, til film og manuskripter, fra mange verdenshjørner.

Blant de inviterte deltakerne er Julie Allen (Brigham Young), Sara Culeddu (Venezia), Peter D. McDonald (Oxford), Gisèle Sapiro (EHESS, Paris), Anna Svenbro (Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, Paris) og Tonje Vold (Oslo).

Seminaret Norwegian World Literature: Perspectives for Future Research er åpent for alle interesserte og foregår på engelsk. Det arrangeres av og presenterer resultater fra forskningsprosjektet Made Abroad: Producing Norwegian World Literature in a Time of Rupture, 1900-50 (MAP), The National Library of Norway.

Seminaret vil bli strømmet.
