from Part II - Major Concepts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 July 2023
This chapter begins from a concern about the extent to which “diaspora” is one of a number of concepts that threatens to be swallowed up by the newly-dominant institutional category of “world literature,” and goes on to discuss what stands to be lost as a result, as well as how we might proceed differently. Forgetting diaspora, it argues, impoverishes our attempts to think literature in an internationalist framework; this contribution is thus an attempt to assist in the act of remembering. In particular, the chapter makes a case for reading Palestinian literature diasporically as a move toward a world literature that reads work not just “globally,” but with an eye toward internationalism.
