First, I explain the context and challenges of teaching world literature: the importance of including diverse works and authors; competing definitionsand information overload; barriers to international availability and accessibility of non-dominant works and of non-English languages; and students’ limited historical and cross-cultural knowledge. I then show howfaculty can incorporate open-source Internet and interactive multimedia resources into world literature courses in ways that allow alternative and outsider voices to challenge and expand national, ethnic, linguistic, socio-political, and disciplinary boundaries. Faculty can use web resources such as blogs and wikis; online self-publishing and translation sites; maps, timelines, primary documents, and other sources of historical and socio-political context; and social media platforms to create a more inclusive notion of world literature, as well as a learning process that is dynamic, collaborative, and relevant to students’ daily lives.  \nIntroduction  \nI n today’s globalized, technology-mediated society, a  \ncourse on contemporary world literature can be especially useful for exploring national, ethnic, linguistic, and sociopolitical issues, in addition to serving as a model of connected and active student learning. While the concept and study of world literature have a long and varied history that is typically traced to Goethe’s 1827 writings on Weltliteratur (Damrosch, 2003; Thomsen, 2008), the field has burgeoned in recent years in response to awareness of, and interest in, individual nations’ diversity, writers’ international and  \ndiasporic identities, and national literary and linguistic groups’ unequal representation. Moving beyond the framework of an individual literary corpus attached to one nation and one academic discipline, contemporary world literature raises issues for teachers and students of selecting and critically evaluating texts; of relating contemporary writing to our daily lives; and of situating ourselves in relation to writers and texts from other countries, languages, and cultures. Meanwhile, the Internet provides a platform for alternative and outsider voices to challenge and expand the boundaries created by literary canons, academic discourse, and the traditional publishing industry.  \nIn addition to determining the definition and purpose of contemporary world literature courses, faculty need to identify the range of texts and writers encompassed by the terms, ‘contemporary,’ ‘world,’ and ‘literature.’ The selection and presentation of texts work both to dismantle traditional national, ethnic, linguistic, and academic disciplinary boundaries, and to create new boundaries and divisions. A further issue is the extent to which teaching ‘world literature’ within an English department challenges Anglo-centric and Euro-centric literary models, while also appropriating and/or misrepresenting literature that historically and linguistically has fallen within the province of foreign language departments.  \nWorld Literature faculty thus face the double challenge of finding ways to represent current writers from diverse world regions without co-opting or colonizing their texts, and to connect literary works to students’personal and communal lives, across cultural and national boundaries. To meet these challenges, teachers of literature must develop pedagogical approaches and strategies that address the processes of canonization of global texts and authors through anthologizing practices and textbookselection; the relationship between English and foreign language de","cbCaijKZKRE3FxuB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijKZKRE3FxuB","pdf",102541,"English","# Introduction\n## Challenges of Teaching World Literature Today\n## Defining Contemporary, Global, and Literature\n## Barriers to Access and Research","[{\"question\":\"What teaching challenges does the paper identify for contemporary world literature courses?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights conflicts in definitions, barriers to access and scholarship for non-English and non-dominant works, students’ limited historical and cross-cultural knowledge, and the difficulty of locating and evaluating the large volume of online materials.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper propose using online resources in world literature instruction?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends incorporating open-source Internet tools and interactive multimedia resources, including blogs, wikis, digital self-publishing and translation sites, and historical and socio-political context materials like maps, timelines, and primary documents.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the approach address inclusivity and voice in world literature?\",\"answer\":\"By enabling alternative and outsider voices to challenge traditional boundaries created by literary canons, academic discourse, and publishing practices, the method aims to expand what counts as world literature and make learning more collaborative and relevant.\"}]","Teaching World Literature for the 21st Century - Online Resources and Interactive Approaches | PDF",1792087411,15]
