| Research Abstract |
This research project is based on the collaboration of specialists of English-language literature, Spanish-language literature, and Russian and East European literature. We investigated the complicated process of contemporary world literature comprehensively, taking a broad view that would make it possible for us to go across the borders of nations and languages, and explored new approaches to literary studies. As a result, we succeeded in showing clearly that even in the age of globalization, world literature is not being homogenized one-sidedly; it is rather becoming richly diversified as a whole. We also expanded the conventional framework of world literature centrally based on the Western literary canon, and studied possibilities of a new canon of world literature that would integrate Japanese literature into itself.
