The problems with delimiting the notion of transculturality in literary studies

Summary/Abstract: The global turn in literary studies brings the necessity of looking for new ways to analyze literature and literary history, and to reframe the categories we use to describe it. Transculturality, though in use for the past 30 years, still seems one of the freshest and most promising terms to use in a newly profiled literary study. However, recent publications have proved that the meaning of the term is at best unstable – transculturality is being used in different, sometimes contradictory ways. This article focuses on some of the issues that one may face when dealing with the notion of transculturality.
