An Intercultural Approach to Translation Literature, Soft Power and Global Diplomacy
An Intercultural Approach to Translation Literature, Soft Power and Global Diplomacy

Summary/Abstract: The paper undertakes a thorough analysis of recent paradigm shifts in the areas of cultural, literary and translation studies, in view of highlighting their interdependence as well as their power to facilitate the construction of and shape the concept of world literature. Literature and translation are inescapably related to globalization, whereas comparative literature provides an all-encompassing view of the world spanning time, space and culture. The paper argues that language and culture are intrinsically connected in the translation process. We also point out similarities and differences between the concepts of world literature and comparative literature.
