The goal of the journal is to establish a scientific dialogue between scholars from Scandinavian and Nordic countries working on Francophone studies. The journal also invites outstanding contributions from international scholars to promote the idea of literary reception in Nordic countries, which means the focus on Francophone Literature and World-Literature from a Nordic perspective. The journal welcomes both literary and cultural contributions to understanding the diversity of the Francophone world.
This journal is published with Open Access to provide quality checked research to the French-speaking world free of charge.
L´objectif de cette revue est d´établir un dialogue scientifique entre les chercheurs des pays scandinaves et nordiques travaillant sur les études francophones. La revue accueille également des contributions internationales portant sur la réception littéraire dans les pays nordiques en insistant notamment sur la relation entre littérature francophone et World-Literature d´un point de vue nordique. En réalité, la revue abrite des contributions littéraires et culturelles sur la diversité du monde francophone.
The aim of this thematic issue is to reflect on the ways in which the francophone literature in a diglossic situation scan embraces the concept of world literature. The problems related to the world literature has been widely debated since the early 2000s, but it is still taken in a Western perspective of ethnocentrism. Taking into account, on the one hand, the particular case of the decentralized francophone literature and on the other hand the Nordic perspective, we would like to revisit the theories defining World literature by focusing on the local, regional and transnational aspects of this literature. By going through this perspective, we will help redefine the place of French literature in world literary history.
