- At c.110,000 words, this monograph critiques world literature via postcolonialism and continental philosophy. Discussing the work of Pascale Casanova, Franco Moretti and WReC in detail, it reveals the influence of world-systems theory as a perpetuation of postcolonialism’s poststructuralist/Marxist split. This book presents an alternative through wide-ranging reference to the philosophy of Fredrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze, Bruno Latour and Jacques Rancière. Through each, concepts of equality, relation and dissent are developed as a response to world-literature debates and as a means to explore a global range of postcolonial writers– J. M. Coetzee, Kamel Daoud, Dany Laferrière, Pauline Melville and Arundhati Roy.
