文章努力阐释一种世界文学的观念。这种世界文学要求摆脱传统上包容一切文学的总体性渴望,要求将它自身理解成:为了这个世界的文学,由这个世界接受和创造,面向这个世界市场,面向这个世界而不是下个世界,同时在文学其他可能的、尤其宗教世界性问题上不表明态度。最后,这种世界文学要突出文学创造世界的力量,创造替代性世界的力量。尽管这个观念是一个不完善的定义,但是不完善却一直会是世界文学的一个基本特征。 The article tries to explain a concept of world literature. This world literature calls for getting rid of the general desire to embrace all literary traditions and asks itself to be understood as: for the literature of this world, accepted and created by this world, oriented toward this world market, facing this world, not the next world, At the same time, it does not show any attitude toward other possible aspects of literature, especially those concerning the religious world. Finally, this world literature should highlight the power of literature to create the world and create the power of the alternative world. Although this notion is an imperfect definition, imperfection has always been a fundamental feature of world literature.
