Abstract

Abstract

This article considers some of the central concepts pertinent to the current Anglo-Saxon discourse of world literature. Focusing on one such concept, circulation, it examines its implications for how we think about the literary text and write the history/histories of world literature. A reconsideration of the notion of circulation could provide tangible benefits by sharpening our sense of the fundamental incompleteness of the text in the process of its multiple appropriations.This argument is advanced from a much-needed longue durée perspective, while asserting its validity for the current environment in which the literary text undergoes incessant fragmentation and re-medialisation.
