March 4, 2009 The SFU World Literature Program sponsored ‘How to Read World Literature’, a free public lecture by Dr. David Damrosch, Visiting Professor, Harvard University and Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University. World literature was long defined in North America as an established canon of European masterpieces, but an emerging global perspective has challenged both this European focus and the very category of “the masterpiece.” In case studies ranging from the Aztecs to multilingual global hip-hop, David Damrosch discussed the ways works change and gain in translation as they move from national to global contexts.
