This book proposes a cutting-edge framework for rethinking world literature in nomadic terms, within its wider socio-cultural dynamic reflected in rhizomatic and comparative theoretical domains. It also reads as a unique, itinerant scholarly autobiography, which, in terms of structure and content, exemplifies the main theme of literary and cultural comparisons, and how they take their course in a variety of contexts elicited by real-life circumstances, violence, and wars across the globe.The collection demonstrates a synergy of different approaches and theoretical stands and of the analytical fields of postcolonialism, post-socialism, and post-imperialism alike. Applicable to literary, philosophic, and everyday cultural-social practices, with a suite of subtopics, this book resonates with the vital concerns of ethics, creativity, openness, affirmation, hybridity, and poeticism. Specifically, it points how a critical reassessment of comparison, relative to the affirmative capacity of its use, informs the responsiveness to developing comparative mechanisms and frameworks of comparative literature in studying literatures of the world.
