- Title
Distant Reading -- Cosmopolitanism as Unconditional Reception.
- Authors
WIEMANN, DIRK
- Abstract
The article focuses on the distant reading of cosmopolitanism towards the unconditional reception of literary texts. It discusses the relation of literary criticism to social-science and philosophical discourses, particularly in Kant's argument. It highlights the capacity for literary texts to transgress local, cultural, and temporal demarcations, how the genres connect to spatial and linguistic barriers, and how the act of reading fosters a translocal imaginary.
