Dabei werden Probleme wie unterschiedliche Schriftsysteme, die je nach Kultur verschiedenen Funktionen von Literatur und Fragen der Relation von ethnischer Selbstbeschreibung und kultureller Zugehörigkeit diskutiert.

The essays revolve around the question of what, specifically in today's rapidly globalizing world, may be the productive implications of the concept of World Literature, which was first developed in the 18th century and then elaborated on by Goethe. The discussions include problems such as different script systems with varying literary functions, as well as questions addressing the relationship between ethnic self-description and cultural belonging. The contributions result from a conference that took place at the Dahlem Humanities Center, Freie Universität Berlin, in 2012.
