Revisiting Cosmopolitanism: On the Current Interest of a “Truly General” Literature
"Raviver le cosmopolitisme : de l’intérêt actuel d’une littérature « vraiment générale »". Essai critique
Résumé
In two rich books, Didier Coste, Christina Kkona and Nicoletta Pireddu propose to rethink a notion that has been often criticized: cosmopolitanism. In the perspective of a literary analysis open to other disciplines, they insist on its poetic and political interest as well as on its topicality, thus opening the path of a global study of literature, a field that is still little explored in France.
