Journal Article
Economy and Weltliteratur in the Communist Manifesto
2001
Overview
Explores how analyzing themes of world literature can help to lessen the distance between contemporary world conditions & the texts of Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels. It is contended that the Communist Manifesto proclaimed the emergence of a world literature based on economic analyses, especially the notion of a \"world market.\" The insights of Marx & Engels into the \"inevitable globalization of literature,\" the commodification of intellectual labor, & advances in communication, are said to suggest development of an international information industry with the potential to hold disparate ideas, theories, & cultures. The place of the circulation & effects of \"intellectual productions\" in the structure of the world market is discussed, & distinctions between the critical effects of world literature, & the tendency to construct an \"artificial & indistinct universality,\" are explored. It is concluded that the successful transformation of intellectual products from critical moments into objects of consumption by the world market would mean the end of the era of world literature. 24 References.
