This article focuses instead on how the videos of Li Ziqi and Qiaofu Jiumei recenter production as a key visual force in global capitalism. By depicting the dynamic reciprocities between traditionally rural, artisanal or craft-based, and immaterial or affective labor, and—on the other hand—more ostensibly commercial farm work and e-commerce, Chinese microcelebrities show that different labor relations can dialectically coexist and overlap under contemporary state capitalism despite developments in productivity and automation that impute a historical directionality to the nature of work. The article discusses this in relation to the historical context and theoretical design of the People's Republic of China's recent Rural Revitalization strategic plan, as well as the country's growing platform economy. Belying Li's aestheticized portrayal of craftsmanship and self-sufficiency is the notorious non-appearing of alienated labor, private property, and the continuous expropriation of nature—but also their potential reversibility. Jiumei's candid depictions of rural e-commerce evidence rural platformization's value-extraction; and yet, perceptible in her comparatively more impoverished images are hints of the return of more conventional forms of work.","PeriodicalId":55969,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE LITERATURE STUDIES","volume":"60 1","pages":"519 - 540"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48173554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By way of example, it foregrounds gold, drawing on the two authors' experiences teaching material related to this valuable mineral in very distinct fields: European art history (in courses on the ancient and medieval eras) and Latin American literature and culture (in courses about the Amazon taught in Spanish and Portuguese). The authors also discuss their collaborative work in creating an Open Educational Resources (OER) module on gold, and the possibility of a co-taught course. Gold is a particularly interesting commodity given the many myths that surround it, its history as a form of currency and standard of value, and the aesthetic qualities attributed to it. More generally, however, focusing on specific commodities from the point of extraction to their use in an array of products encourages students to think about the materiality of culture and its implication in an array of political, economic, and ethical issues. It also offers a way of charting connections and differences across long arcs of time, across geographical space and cultural differences, and across different academic disciplines.","PeriodicalId":55969,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE LITERATURE STUDIES","volume":"60 1","pages":"460 - 474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48879245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing the author's trajectory from In Other Words (2016) to Whereabouts (2021) and by discussing two short stories she has published in the interval between her linguistic autobiography and her first Italian novel, the article argues that Lahiri's aesthetic and political concerns have transitioned from a utopian search for cosmopolitan encounters to a sharper attention to place-making and grounded relationality. Concurrently, her writing has moved from the pursuit of placeless abstraction to a more pronounced interest in site-specific forms of social bonding. The article further situates Lahiri's translingual practice within paradigms of postcolonial, diasporic, and translingual writing, and discusses how her choice to forsake a dominant language for a semi-peripheral one requires a different critical approach that considers both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In fully embracing the precarious translational space between Italian and English, the article contends that Lahiri's latest reinvention contributes to deprovincializing both the Italian and the Anglophone literary field, while offering new ways of articulating identity, cultural belonging, and community in comparative and world literature studies.","PeriodicalId":55969,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE LITERATURE STUDIES","volume":"60 1","pages":"312 - 335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45749019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

G. Sebald, and Cemal Süreya in a minor tradition of writers preoccupied with melancholy since the Baroque. By pushing the notion of melancholy outside the experience of the individual subject, melancholy can be understood beyond its inherited descriptions, which treat it either as an impetus for artistic creativity or as a medical condition. Instead, drawing on work in global modernist studies and ecocriticism, melancholy can be productively considered relationally and nonanthropocentrically. This article traces how in İstanbul: Hatıralar ve Şehir (Istanbul: Memories and the City), Pamuk, channeling strands of Islamic melancholy (ḥuzn), closely links the Turkish notion of hüzün (Turkish melancholy) to landscape (manzara), which notably troubles the human–nonhuman divide. Then it will be shown how Sebald's lamentations on destruction and the ruinated landscape in his poetry and the novel Die Ringe des Saturn (Rings of Saturn) both collapse distinctions between nature and culture and articulate a melancholy at the extremes of visual perception. In closing, a reading of Cemal Süreya's poem \"Fotoğraf\" (\"Photograph\") brings the work of all three authors together under the notion of a promising and critical \"melancholy present.\"","PeriodicalId":55969,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE LITERATURE STUDIES","volume":"60 1","pages":"336 - 373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47666992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
