Serrano calls for a reassessment of the practice of World
Literature with six case studies taken from the Arabic, Chinese,
French, German, Korean and Latin American traditions. Although in
recent years the field has adopted more inclusive and wide-ranging
criteria for college-level anthologies of World Literature, and has
seen the collection and publication of critical readers,
book-length introductions, and even a history, the theoretical
predisposition of most of its practitioners paradoxically has led
to a shrinking of its horizons and a narrowing of its vision.
Reexamining World Literature asks scholars to look beyond the
current dominant definition of World Literature (works in English
with broad reach or works in other languages with significant
circulation in English translation) in order to engage with a range
of complex texts that elude the field's assumptions. World
Literature need not be a we-are-the-world of shared values, but
instead should ask readers to question what those values are.
