Transkuturowość: od koncepcji Wolfganga Welscha do Transkulturowej historii literatury

Transculturality: from the idea of Wolfgang Welsch to transcultural literary historyThe article focuses on the problem of transculturality and the manner in which it can be adapted as a method of literary analysis. The article presents Wolfgang Welsch’s original idea of transculturality, the shifting attitude towards Weltliteratur and Anders Pettersson’s proposal of a transcultural view on literary history. All of these ideas can be sum up as attempts to find a new, global approach to literature, one that would be free of previous eurocentric thinking and open towards other cultures and literary traditions.
