Il presente articolo intende indagare e comparare le modalità attraverso le quali Édouard Glissant e Salman Rushdie pensano e rappresentano la mondialità nelle proprie opere. In un primo momento verranno analizzati i percorsi intellettuali dei due autori, caratterizzati dalla ricerca di un “terzo-spazio” (oltre la dicotomia centro-periferia) all’interno del campo transnazionale della letteratura. In seguito, si inseriranno le loro riflessioni teoriche nel più ampio dibattito su World Literature e Littérature-monde. Infine, compareremo le loro concezioni del realismo, caratterizzate da uno stretto legame tra il locale transculturale (India e Antille) e il tout-monde creolizzato.

In this article we want to inquireand to comparethe modalities through which Édouard Glissant and Salman Rushdiethink and represent the world in their works. At first,we will study the two authors’intellectual journeys. They are both characterized by the research of a “third space” in the transnational literary camp, free from the center-periphery dichotomy.Then we will place and contextualize their reflections in the debate on World Literature and Littérature-monde. Finally, we will compare their conceptions of realism, both characterized by a close relationship be-tween the transcultural local (India and Antilles) and the creolized tout-monde.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
