Dear friends and colleagues,
I post the below on behalf of Professor Regenia Gagnier,
Director of the Exeter Interdisciplinary Institute.
She also directs the Global Circulation Project, sponsored by
Literature Compass and supported by the British Academy.
This is an exciting and ambitious initiative. It already
includes a research fellow from China (see below), and
Korea is very much on the agenda too. Professor Gagnier writes:
By all means do post the GCP link on the Korean boards. We are interested
in submissions to the journal or responses to its publications, in the
genuine spirit of dialogue, though everything is rigorously peer-reviewed.
Anyone who would like to submit or write responses should get in touch with the
Managing Editor Phil Smith (on the site). We also actively invite both
submissions and responses, so when I am more familiar with Korean scholarship,
we will begin to make contacts ourselves.
These are fascinating issues, so I trust Koreanists will ensure that
Korea is fully represented in this "global map and dialogue."
Best wishes
Aidan FC

The Global Circulation Project is a global map and dialogue on how key
Anglophone works, authors, genres, and literary movements have been received,
imitated/mimicked, adapted, or syncretised outside Britain, Europe, and
North America, or, conversely, how key works from outside these areas have
been received, imitated/mimicked, adapted, or syncretised within Anglophone
literary traditions. It asks, what forms of intertextuality, reception, etc.
are generated through cultural contact?
For example, in a pilot project supported by the British Academy on the
global circulation of Charles Dickens, we are asking:
*
How has Dickens been received, imitated/mimicked, adapted, or syncretised
outside Britain, Europe and North America?
*
What forms of intertextuality have been generated with indigenous cultural
forms?
*
What is the role of Dickens’s Britain in the imaginary of other cultures?
Conversely, we study the role of the 1001 Nights in Anglophone culture.
Thus: How have the Nights been received, imitated/ mimicked, etc.? What forms
of intertextuality have been generated with Anglophone forms? What is the
role of the Nights in the imaginary of British Literature?
Any authors, works, or genres with evidence of significant
global/international circulation and impact from any time period may be the subject of an
article.
For the launch of the GCP in early 2010, we have published articles on
_Global Dickens_
(http://www.blackwell-compass.com/subject/literature/article_view?article_id=lico_articles_bpl664) by John Jordan (University of
California, Santa Cruz), _Global_
(http://www.blackwell-compass.com/subject/literature/article_view?parent=section&last_results=section=lico-renaissance&sortb
y=date§ion=lico-renaissance&browse_id=lico_articles_bpl688&article_id=li
co_articles_bpl688) Modernisms/ Modernities by Laura Doyle (U
Massachusetts, Amherst), _The Distant Future? Reading Franco Morett_
(http://www.blackwell-compass.com/subject/literature/article_view?article_id=lico_articles_bpl
669) i by Rachel Serlen (Columbia University) and the _Naturalist Novel
in Asia_
(http://www.blackwell-compass.com/subject/literature/article_view?article_id=lico_articles_bpl662) by Christopher Hill (Yale). In the next few
months we will also feature a paper on the Anglo-Indian Canon by Norbert
Schurer (California State University, Long Beach).
In the future, we expect articles on the Global Circulation of the New
Woman by Ann Heilmann (Hull), the Global Circulation of key texts of
Liberalism by Regenia Gagnier (Exeter), Global Joyce by Ariela Freedman
(Concordia), Darwin in China by Haiyan Yang (Peking), Byron in China by Ting Guo
(Exeter), Romanticism and Latin America by Joselyn Almeida-Beveridge (U Mass
Amherst), Global Medievalisms (Geraldine Heng, U Texas), and more.
We welcome proposals and submissions to the Global Circulation Project.
Essential to the dialogic nature of the GCP is the participation of
scholars outside Britain, Europe, and North America, and we especially encourage
submissions of paired articles and responses across international
boundaries.
All submissions must include full scholarly apparatus and will be
peer-reviewed according to Literature Compass’ normal procedures. Articles
published through the GCP will invite online scholarly responses from experts with
the goal of global dialogue on literature. We apologize in advance to the
scholarly community that at this time we are only able to consider
submissions and responses in English; this may change as the dialogue and network
grow.
