Gastvortrag Markus Messling
The world literature debate, which is one of the cultural debates of our time about global validity, is being conducted in the French-speaking world under the heading of "littérature-monde" and thus refers to the problem of worldliness: the melting away of Western universalism since 1990 has been accompanied by the return of realism. How approaches to a new universality can be conceived, without which knowledge and justice in world society cannot be organized, thus proves to be a problem of narrative world design.
Markus Messling is Professor of Romance Cultural Studies at Saarland University. He was deputy director of the Marc Bloch Center in Berlin and has held visiting professorships and fellowships in Paris, Cambridge, London and Kobe.
