  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht erstmals systematisch das Gesamtwerk Roberto Bola{\~n}os mit Blick auf die vielf{\"a}ltigen intertextuellen Bez{\"u}ge des chilenischen Autors. Posthum vor allem wegen seines Romans 2666 von der globalen Literaturkritik zum ersten Klassiker der Weltliteratur des 21. Jahrhunderts stilisiert, fungieren in Bola{\~n}os Texten intertextuelle Verweise als ein zentrales Formverfahren, das bislang von der Kritik kaum eingehender untersucht worden ist. Die Werk-Studie situiert Bola{\~n}o dabei nicht nur dezidiert innerhalb einer lateinamerikanischen Genealogie eines «wilden Lesens», sondern legt {\"u}ber eine Lekt{\"u}re, die zugleich philologisch-detailliert und panoramatisch-ideengeschichtlich operiert, die Auseinandersetzungen von Bola{\~n}os Texten {\"u}ber die gescheiterten Revolutionen in Lateinamerika oder die Verheerungen des globalen Kapitalismus mit dem literarischen Kanon der (Post-)Moderne frei. Diese umfassen neben der lateinamerikanischen Literatur um Autoren wie Neruda, Borges und Parra insbesondere Bez{\"u}ge auf die spanische und franz{\"o}sische Literatur von G{\´o}ngora und Pascal {\"u}ber Baudelaire bis zu Perec sowie auf weitere Klassiker der Moderne in Gestalt von Schriftstellern wie Ernst J{\"u}nger oder William Carlos Williams.},

  abstract  = {Postcolonial criticism has repeatedly debunked the ostensible neutrality of the 'world' of world literature by pointing out that and how the contemporary world - whether conceived in terms of cosmopolitan conviviality or neoliberal globalization - cannot be understood without recourse to the worldly event of Europe's colonial expansion. While we deem this critical perspective indispensable, we simultaneously maintain that to reduce 'the world' to the world-making impact of capital, colonialism, and patriarchy paints an overly deterministic picture that runs the risk of unwittingly reproducing precisely that dominant 'oneworldness' that it aims to critique. Moreover, the mere potentiality of alternative modes of world-making tends to disappear in such a perspective so that the only remaining option to think beyond oneworldness resides in the singularity claim. This insistence on singularity, however, leaves the relatedness of the single units massively underdetermined or denies it altogether. By contrast, we locate world literature in the conflicted space between the imperial imposition of a hierarchically stratified world (to which, as hegemonic forces tell us, 'there is no alternative') and the unrealized 'undivided world' that multiple minor cosmopolitan projects yet have to win. It is precisely the tension between these 'two worlds' that brings into view the crucial centrality not of the nodes in their alleged singularity but their specific relatedness to each other, that both impedes and energizes world literature today and renders it ineluctably postcolonial.},
