Summary: | According to this Ulrich Beck's term (Beck, 2007, 287) the 'national literature' turned out to be a living-dead-of-a-theory, who should move out of the way of the literature studies since its permanent claims to descriptive superiority are making up a contradiction with the concept's alleged lack of theoretical values. The opinions of that kind have their roots in the nineteen-century interpretations by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Karl Marx. Besides all the differences between their "world literature" concepts, they had one in common: they both found the 'national literature' hermetic and unable to say anything about the world in its diversity. According to the last interpretation, the "hypertext" basically is a text without "borders" (and in this sense, the hypertextuality is a natural aspect of the internet). The 'book' turns out to be a supplement (in the Derridean sense, still and all; Bhabha, 2004, 221) of the individual and the communal experience of globalization. Because of it, the analysis should take into account the whole ambiguity of the book's ontological status - analyzing it as the 'text', the 'work' and the 'publication' at the exact time. |
