Autonomy implies that the events which take place in literary space are autonomous too: the watershed dates, manifestos, heroes, monuments, commemorations, capital cities, all combine to produce a specific history, which cannot be confused with that of the political world—even if it partially depends upon it, in a form that would require careful attention.
Pascale Casanova, Literature as a World, NLR 31, January–February 2005In this sense, the Nobel Prize is a prime, objective indicator of the existence of a world literary space

Pascale Casanova, Literature as a World, NLR 31, January–February 2005Let us say that a mediating space exists between literature and the world: a parallel territory, relatively autonomous from the political domain, and dedicated as a result to questions, debates, inventions of a specifically literary nature.

Latin American Fiction Boom | History | Research Starters | EBSCO ResearchThree questions. is it possible to re-establish the lost bond between literature, history and the world, while still maintaining a full sense of the irreducible singularity of literary texts? Second, can literature itself be conceived as a world? And if so, might an exploration of its territory help us to answer question number one?

Guide to the Latin American Boom - Boston ReviewNothing like this would have occurred in the forties or the early fifties. Latin American literature has gained an enormous readership just in the past twenty years.

Guide to the Latin American Boom - Boston ReviewThe boom novel is never reportage, it is never blatant political protest, it is never “responsible,” in the suffocating sense. And too, the Boom announced a cultural hegemony and unity out of disparity that would have been unthinkable some twenty or thirty years ago.
Guide to the Latin American Boom - Boston ReviewThese are the eternal lessons of authors as disparate as Jane Austen, Faulkner, and Thomas Mann.
Guide to the Latin American Boom - Boston ReviewBut there are a few things about the Boom that can be said with some accuracy and equanimity. The authors involved are resolutely engaged in a transfiguration of Latin American reality, from localism to a kind of heightened, imaginative view of what is real–a universality gained by the most intense and luminous kind of locality.
Guide to the Latin American Boom - Boston ReviewIn the same way that a Tolstovian peasant has a deep, spiritual knowledge of the land, we will have a deep, spiritual knowledge of Tung Tung Tung Sahur.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeThe politics of the future will be cautious, conservative, pragmatic, and unadventurous, grounded in empirical experience instead of fanatical ideologies. We will no longer try to think outside of the things we can see. It’s just that absolutely nothing we see will be real.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeWhen we can no longer conceive of a political whole, this is what will be left: all struggles will be powered by outright sexual sadism.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeIt’s possible that the great works of literature don’t actually do anything politically at all. They don’t make us better people or freer citizens. Their value exists in an entirely different world.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeYour community is no longer made up of the people who actually surround you; it’s an entirely virtual construct, consisting of people you’ve never met in your life, but whose spoken language has been similarly homogenized by the mass-production of printed texts.

Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeOrality and Literacy
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeThe end of literacy is the end of public reason. A post-literate world will be unreasonable, irrational, full of anger and madness, and people eating each other in the streets.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeThe illiterate herders and peasants were living in the ruins of a sophisticated literary culture that had, for the most part, vanished from the world.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeAny transformative politics is, in some sense, the art of solving a problem even when it isn’t so.
Reading is magic - by Sam Kriss - Numb at the LodgeLuria took pains to point out that these people weren’t remotely stupid. They were perfectly capable of thinking rationally and deductively, and they could make ‘excellent judgments about facts of direct concern to them.’ But they lived in an incredibly conservative world, with its walls closed tight around direct sensory experience. Meanwhile, even a cursory exposure to writing produces an entirely different kind of thought. It lives in a spooky realm of ideal objects and useless categories, where you can talk confidently about invisible bears and measure distances even when they’re going the…
