How can we conceptualize the literary relations between China and India? How do we grasp the global imaginaries in transnational literary exchanges? What are the politics and ethics at play in the imaginaries of the Global South? To unravel and complicate these questions, this panel convenes scholars whose research delves into the intricate web of literary connections across Africa, South Asia, and East Asia. Through sharing their insights and latest scholarship, the panelists will engage in a discussion on critical themes including colonialism, (trans-)nationalism, the Global South, and comparative literature as a discipline.
