How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

La premisa positivista que articula de modo inexorable experiencia con verdad dio lugar auna configuracion del campo disciplinar donde, por un tiempo, el testimonio logro ocuparuna posicion privilegiada como documento para revelar acontecimientos historicos -- enprimer termino colectivos -- traumaticos y silenciados. Al aflojar el lazo entre experiencialimite y narracion y asignarle un lugar preponderante a esta ultima, este volumen proponeun examen de lo que podria ser pensado como el regimen simbolico de lo postestimonial.Explora, asi, formulas literarias, filmicas y teatrales que, independientemente de su pretensionde veracidad, hacen sonar la experiencia.
