| contents | <p>This study comparatively examines David Damrosch’s and Taha Neda’s approaches to world literature and comparative literature in order to reveal how literary circulation, translation, and cultural interaction shape the contemporary understanding of global literary studies. While Damrosch conceptualizes world literature as a mode of circulation and reading that transcends national boundaries through translation and reception, Neda emphasizes the scientific and historical relations among literatures, particularly within Islamic cultures such as Arabic, Persian, and Turkish traditions. By analyzing their theoretical frameworks, this article discusses the limitations of Eurocentric perspectives and questions the dominance of Western literary canons in defining world literature. The study further explores the role of power, globalization, and translation in the formation of comparative literary discourse, arguing that world literature should be understood as a dynamic and plural field shaped by intercultural exchange rather than a fixed canon. Through juxtaposing Damrosch’s global model with Neda’s comparative Islamic perspective, the article highlights alternative ways of conceptualizing world literature beyond Western-centric paradigms.</p> |
