The Little Periodical as a Borderline Phenomenon of Modernism: The Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum and the Beginnings of Global Modernism

Summary/Abstract: Studies on modernism, especially modernist periodical studies, have always stressed the paramount importance of the little periodical/petite revue in the emergence of literary and artistic modernism. The revolution of the print for mass audience gave new relevance to the emerging little periodical as a new journalistic form and worldview as opposed to large-scale literary and journalistic production. The paper frames the first international journal of comparative literary studies, the Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum, as a little periodical. It highlights its critical position and comments against capitalism-driven mass production, journalistic speed, profit, large circulation, and popularity. Based on its position and practice, the ACLU seems to be one of the first global little periodicals, a sign of the emergence of this type of radical press and, thus, of early radical modernism. Recognizing ACLU as one of the pioneering little periodicals of modernism could also reconfigure modernism as a multi-centered phenomenon with major Eastern European starting points.
