This includes the role of translation in the semi-periphery and the conditions under which literature travels to and from that position. The focus is not on Sweden, as such, but rather on the semi-peripheral transitional space as exemplified by the Swedish case. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Consisting of three co-written chapters, this study sheds light on what might be called the semi-peripheral condition or the semi-periphery as an area of transition. As part of the Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures series, it makes continuous use of the concepts of 'cosmopolitan' and 'vernacular' - or rather, the processual terms, \u003ci\u003ecosmopolitanization\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003evernacularization - \u003c\/i\u003ewhich provide an overall structure to the analysis of literature and literary phenomena. In this way, the authors show that the semi-periphery is an ideal point of departure to further the understanding of world literature, because it is a place where the cosmopolitan (the literary universal) and the vernacular (the rootedness in a particular culture or place) interact in ways that have not yet been thoroughly explored. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chatarina Edfeldt, Erik Falk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501374281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501374289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Chatarina Edfeldt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077938278655,"sku":"9781501374289","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5700e28b-bb3e-43df-985a-fa0b6e22114c.jpg?v=1685472620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northern-crossings-chatarina-edfeldt-9781501374289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
