Movement and transformations are the basic principles in which the melody of prose expresses itself as a language in and as motion. Although based in Brazilian culture, Rosa shows the conviviality of different logics which are not reduced to one myth of the Brazilian people, but produce multiple ways of co-existence between different life-forms and culture narratives. The translingual title "Sagarana" already alludes to the transitions between two languages, regions, and cultures: the Icelandic "saga-" and the Tupic-Word "rana" which means "similar" or "alike." The interpretation figures out the correlation of different provenances ("Herk{\"u}nfte") which emerge from Rosa's craft of storytelling. In its center, the Sert{\~a}o arises as a region of nature whose forces are connected with the life of human beings. As fractal of the world, it symbolizes Brazilian relations as a world of its own and at the same time as a part of the world of others. From this point of view the essay turns world literature upside down: it emphasizes on the one hand that the epoch of world literature since Goethe has come to an end and that the meridian has shifted to Latin America. On the other hand it can be observed that the lusophonic world between Brazil and Angola, Portugal and Kap Verde develops new perspectives on literatures of the world beyond the fixed coordinations of periphery and center. Rosa's ways of world making already shift the perspective from the local to the global as a miniatured model of a universe which reveals interpretations of a better understanding of the world as world fractals.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2020, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {From the Transarchip{\´e}lique Antilles}, series = {Ameena Gafoor Institute}, journal = {Ameena Gafoor Institute}, pages = {11}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Ottmar Ette: TransArea : a literary history of globalization.

On the basis of selected writings of Georg Forster, Alexander von Humboldt, and Adelbert von Chamisso, the author highlights the increasing speed with which knowledge, especially in the experiential sciences, is produced and disseminated following the routes of ever-widening trade speeded along by globalization. The notion of 'vectopia' stands for the connection of utopia and uchronia in space and time in such a way that the experience of the world, expanded worldwide, contains within it a Weiter-Leben, a 'living-further' that is to be understood first in a spatial, and not yet temporal, sense, of what Forster called Erfahrungswissen, or 'experiential knowledge.' Vectopia, as elaborated here, has a material dimension that relates to the physical person, the body, the experience of the world that cannot occur without the constant changing of place, without a journeying that is again and again recommenced. Vectopia develops the projection of a life not from space or from time alone, but by their combination. Vectopia is more than a concept, it is a thought-figure: it is vitally connected to life, and thus a life-figure. It opens itself to a type of knowledge that stands almost at the threshold of a further life, indeed, of a Weiterleben that, opening itself to a 'living-onward,' resides beyond space, time, and movement.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2018, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {TransArea Tangier}, series = {Re-mapping World Literature Writing, Book Markets and Epistemologies between Latin America and the Global South / Escrituras, mercados y epistemolog{\´i}as entre Am{\´e}rica Latina y el Sur Global}, journal = {Re-mapping World Literature Writing, Book Markets and Epistemologies between Latin America and the Global South / Escrituras, mercados y epistemolog{\´i}as entre Am{\´e}rica Latina y el Sur Global}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-054957-7}, issn = {2513-0757}, doi = {10.1515/9783110549577-019}, pages = {283 -- 321}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2005, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Literature without fixed residence : Insularity, history and sociocultural dynamic in XXth century Cuba}, year = {2005}, abstract = {From its very beginnings, Cuban literature has been a literature with no fixed abode: written between Cuba and Mexico (Jose Maria Heredia), Cuba and Spain (Gertrudis Gomez de Avellanedo), Cuba and the US.
