Literatura Comparada, literaturas menores, comparação Sul-SulResumo
É um lugar comum julgar a literatura comparada como eurocentrista, e a acusação é, sem dúvida, justificada durante a maior parte da história da disciplina. Embora desde a virada do século XXI a disciplina, tanto em seus tradicionais redutos europeus e norte-americanos quanto em outras regiões, tenha ampliado seu escopo para incluir muitas (se ainda não todas) literaturas anteriormente negligenciadas ou marginalizadas, o termo principal na maioria das comparações envolvendo literaturas não ocidentais ou, com um termo mais recente, do Sul Global, ainda continua sendo literatura ocidental. Apenas muito recentemente surgiu uma forma de comparação que envolve diretamente várias literaturas do Sul Global e elimina qualquer literatura de referência ocidental. Essa comparação Sul-Sul pode assumir várias formas, várias das quais são discutidas em meu artigo. Argumento também que o princípio de tais comparações pode ser estendido igualmente a comparações entre as chamadas literaturas menores, mesmo que originárias do Norte Global ou do Ocidente, que até agora sofreram uma negligência comparável em relação a pouquíssimas literaturas de língua europeia que tradicionalmente têm estado no centro da disciplina Literatura Comparada.
