literature (humanities)

Global literature refers to forms or traditions of writing that bear a relationship with one another either because they address issues that are considered explicitly global—such as climate change, human rights, international finance, diasporic communities, worldwide terrorism—or because they represent ways of drawing aspects of verbal experience into networks of transnational interconnectivity and interdependence. Global literature as an area of global studies is therefore to be differentiated both from the field known as comparative literature and from “world writing.” It is neither, as in the first instance, a disciplinary enterprise devoted to comparing and contrasting representative texts from the world's major literary traditions, mostly national, in order to come up with a generalized sense of their chief characteristics, nor is it committed, as in the second instance, to developing a more generalized, if not unified, model of writing itself.
