The Canon of Winners. Alice in the Land-of-Nonsense-Contests

Summary/Abstract: Considering the aesthetic canon as a cultural construct or process that involves the whole cultural field, the concept is revisited nowadays in the spirit of World Literature theories. In this sense, there could be seen a rehabilitation of noncanonical genres or the circulation of values in the transnational space in order to cartography the (inter)national canon(s). The aim of this paper is to analyse a specific scene from the well-known Lewis Carroll novel Alice in Wonderland (translated into Romanian) from this premises: the instable place in the frames of noncanonical genres or categories and the relationships between literary prizes and the mechanism of canonization.
