Globalism vs localism conflict
The book "Facing Global Literature: Politicizing that Which Cannot Be Translated" addresses the cultural and historical conflict between the center and the peripheries in the context of politicizing the concept of global literature. It criticizes the commercial dominance over world literature and emphasizes that many literary works are insufficiently translated or difficult to transfer between languages, which hampers their understanding under the concept of "untranslatability." The author proposes a shift towards a pluralistic view of global literatures based on geopolitical and philosophical pressure points, rather than the dominant single model. Additionally, it stresses the need to reconsider the notion of global literature within the framework of cultural policies and to support initiatives aimed at removing exclusionary and regionalist tendencíes from literature. The book underscores that translation is a complex process intertwined with political and cultural considerations, not merely a simple linguistic transfer.
