At the center of the literary-political project of the Soviet-sponsored Communist International, or Comintern (1919-1943), was the attempt to create a new canon of world literature that could rival the canon of bourgeois literature, centered in the cultural capitals of Europe. Surviving the Comintern, the project of creating internationalist world literature continued to influence the cultural landscape of the Second World during the post-war period. This project was far-reaching and included outreach to all the continents with an emphasis on Asia and Africa. Furthermore, cultural producers in peripheral locations looked toward the Soviet Union, and many sought to contribute to internationalist or red world literature. The conference contributes to recent efforts to chart the cultural geography of the internationalist literary field throughout the 20th century with an emphasis on tracing the various literary worlds that emerged within national and regional contexts. Specifically, we invite proposals on cultural traditions that developed at a distance from the Soviet Union or from locations and regions that were peripheral vis-\u00e0-vis the Soviet world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
