Session Description:

Starting from the premise that all literatures today are more or less part of the larger international system, borrowing and loaning at the same time, this panel addresses one of the central issues concerning world literature, the inequalities of being worldly, by thinking through the position and role of modern Chinese narrative within world literature today.
