  1. Translation and Globalisation For a Multilingual, Intercultural Approach Reine Meylaerts KULeuven (Belgium) Cetra – Misano – 13/9/2005.

  2. Previous Discussions:Weltliteratur and Internationalisation • Bourdieu, 1990. “Les conditions sociales de la circulation internationale des idées” in Romanistische Zeitschrift für Literaturgeschichte (cf. Meylaerts in The Translator, forthcoming) • Casanova, 1999. La République mondiale des Lettres • Heilbron & Sapiro, 2002. Actes de la Recherche en Sciences sociales(cf. Boyden & Meylaerts, 2004, in Target) • Klinkenberg, La Langue et le Citoyen, 2001

  3. Beyond the Nation-State, but how? “The World as India. Translation as a Passport within the Community of Literature” (S. Sontag, TLS, 3/6/2003)

  4. Beyond the Nation-State, but how? A vital global cultural discourse is ancient; only the increasingly settled and bureaucratized nature of academic institutions in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, conjoined with a nasty intensification of ethnocentrism, racism, and nationalism produced the temporary illusion of sedentary, indigenous literary cultures marking sporadic and half-hearted ventures towards the margins. The reality, for most of the past as once again for the present is more about nomads than natives. (Greenblatt, PMLA, 116.1, 2001:59; my emphasis)

  5. Beyond the Nation-State, but how? “Language is the slipperiest of human creations; like its speakers, it does not respect borders, and, like the imagination, it cannot ultimately be predicted or controlled.” (Greenblatt PMLA, 116.1, 2001:62)

  6. Beyond the Nation-State, but how? Models for studying literary interaction in globalised, multilingual worlds?

  7. From observing to analysing: suggestions, models. • Institutionalisation • Internalisation (habitus)

  8. From observing to analysing: suggestions, models. • Why not everbody is multilingual? • Why is multilingual writing exceptional? • For whom linguistic/literary barriers are absolute? • For whom linguistic/literary barriers are unexisting?

  9. From observing to analysing: suggestions, models. • Why do translators have a hard life? • ‘Sources’ and ‘Targets’ = irrelevant? • Literary cartographies? • Where is the nation?
