These books represent three unquestionable contributions in the fields of cosmopolitanism, transcultural studies, world literature(s) studies, and comparative literature. They address in innovative and challenging ways several persistent questions in these fields as well as pose new crucial questions that will impact the future developments of these domains and their theoretical paradigms. All books successfully apply multiple theoretical approaches which allow for a wide and inclusive scholarly debate on the meaning and implications of globalism, (European, regional) identity, literature, figurality, culture, the (post) national, Europe(annes), Eurocentrism, and translation today.
