Literature and the Work of Universality
Alice Duhan, Stefan Helgesson, Christina Kullberg, Paul Tenngart
With three literary texts in focus -by James Joyce, NoViolet Bulawayo and Sol Plaatje - this introduction reflects on the stakes of approaching universality not in contrast to, but by way of, the concept of pluriversality. Distinguishing between universalism as an instrument of power and universality as an unattainable yet unforgettable aspiration, it argues against blanket rejections of universality in contemporary theory.
Further, it introduces the core issue of the volume by identifying literature and methods of literary reading as essential to a grounded and non-essentializing approaching to these topics.
