Specters of World Literature: Orientalism, Modernity, and the Novel in the Middle East
Mattar, Karim (Assistant Professor of English, University of Colorado, Boulder)
At the heart of this book is a spectral theory of world literature that draws on Edward Said, Aamir Mufti, Jacques Derrida and world-systems theory to assess how the field produces local literature as an "other" that haunts its universalising, assimilative imperative with the force of the uncanny.
