NAME gives continuity to our previous funded project on the contemporary global novel:
Global Novel Project
The project “The Novel as Global Form. Poetic Challenges and Cross-border Literary Circulation” of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) introduces a new, more integrated, and decentralized perspective in the study of the emergent genre of the so-called “global novel”. Our main goal is to better understand how the global novel contributes, discusses and builds global discourses through specific narrative forms. Simultaneously, the project maps the uneven circulation of these literary works through data collection concerning circulation, critical reception and consecration at different scales. Through a selected group of post-1989 novels beyond the current Anglophone corpus, the project innovatively crosses the poetic and sociological approaches to the genre, the separated adoption of which has produced contradictory definitions and simplifications. Through this crossing, the GlobalNovel project aims to understand how contemporary novels address global matters, such as global violence, migration, or climate change, at the same time that it attends to how and why these novels circulate in the international literary market
