Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, and the global surge of political populism have demonstrated that the most recent phase of accelerated globalization is over. New categories and concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project while devising alternative models and ideas of globality. The project aims to investigate these highly topical responses in their aesthetic and material manifestations under a “post-global” banner. “Post-globality” denotes a critical response framework that helps us understand the problematic dimensions of this current phase of globalization while seeking out new forms of world creation—including and especially in literature. These responses particularly relate to ecological issues around Anthropocene narratives, geopoetics, the digital revolution, and epidemic realities and fictions, which we intend to investigate in their interconnectedness.This project builds directly on the results of my ERC Consolidator Grant project “Reading Global,” which investigated the period up to the turn of the millennium. The new project adopts the premise that, especially since the 2008 financial and economic crisis, Latin American literary production has experienced a fluctuating dynamic between exhaustion and creation that is pioneering post-global aesthetics around the planet. As a regional sphere of experience, Latin America is paradigmatic of the inconsistencies of the (post-)global: Authors there, more than anywhere else, have been responding to the asymmetries of globalization processes in works of literature that enjoy worldwide circulation via strong connections to Western markets and narrative forms. The project approaches these phenomena from different perspectives in two sub-projects. The first sub-project examines the literary formal language of post-global aesthetics and asks about new imaginaries of globality. In the second sub-project, a material perspective is decisive. How do selected works of post-global Latin American literatures circulate? How is world literature created in a post-global era?

新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）大流行、气候变化和政治民粹主义在全球范围内的兴起等现象表明，最近一个加速全球化的阶段已经结束。需要新的类别和概念来应对全球项目的枯竭，同时设计替代的全球性模型和想法。该项目的目的是调查这些高度热门的反应，在其美学和物质表现在“后全球”的旗帜。“后全球性”是一种批判性的回应框架，它帮助我们理解当前全球化阶段的问题维度，同时寻求新的世界创造形式，包括特别是文学。这些回应特别涉及到围绕人类世叙事、地理诗学、数字革命、流行病现实和虚构的生态问题，我们打算调查它们之间的相互联系。这个项目直接建立在我的ERC整合资助项目“阅读全球”的结果之上，该项目调查了千年之交的时期。新项目采用的前提是，特别是自2008年金融和经济危机以来，拉丁美洲的文学创作经历了枯竭和创造之间的波动动态，这是全球后全球美学的先驱。作为一个区域性的经验领域，拉丁美洲是（后）全球不一致的典范：那里的作家比其他任何地方都更能回应全球化进程中的文学作品的不对称性，这些作品通过与西方市场和叙事形式的紧密联系而在世界范围内流通。该项目在两个分项目中从不同的角度探讨这些现象。第一个子项目考察后全球美学的文学形式语言，并提出全球性的新概念。在第二个子项目中，材料视角是决定性的。全球化后的拉丁美洲文学作品如何传播？后全球化时代的世界文学如何创作？
