This includes the role of translation in the semi-periphery and the conditions under which literature travels to and from that position. The focus is not on Sweden, as such, but rather on the semi-peripheral transitional space as exemplified by the Swedish case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Consisting of three co-written chapters, this study sheds light on what might be called the semi-peripheral condition or the semi-periphery as an area of transition. As part of the Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures series, it makes continuous use of the concepts of 'cosmopolitan' and 'vernacular' – or rather, the processual terms, \u003ci\u003ecosmopolitanization\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003evernacularization – \u003c\/i\u003ewhich provide an overall structure to the analysis of literature and literary phenomena. In this way, the authors show that the semi-periphery is an ideal point of departure to further the understanding of world literature, because it is a place where the cosmopolitan (the literary universal) and the vernacular (the rootedness in a particular culture or place) interact in ways that have not yet been thoroughly explored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57595114783094,"sku":"9781501374241","price":127.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41361501_b192986a-36e2-46f4-ac44-3cf3287a7a25.jpg?v=1779329473","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781501374241-northern-crossings-translation-circulation-and-the-literary-semi-periphery-cosmopolitan-vernacular-dynamics-in-world-literatures","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
