Former Committee member Jernej Habjan is the guest-editor of a forthcoming issue of CLCWeb titled “World Literature as World Crisis: Discussing World Literature to Change the World.” Aiming to unearth a discourse of crisis in what has been canonized as the debate on world literature, this special issue welcomes contributions that relate the world literature debate to larger issues of world literature as, among other things, a late capitalist commodity, a site of postmodern culture wars, a stand-in for a concept of world history, a bastion of Eurocentrism, a source of anti-Eurocentrism, a project born of internationalist utopianism, and an invitation to a monolingual dystopia. Abstracts of 250 words, including a 100-word bio and 5 keywords, should be sent to jernej.habjan@zrc-sazu.si by March 31, 2025, with full articles of 5,000–8,000 words, or critical reviews of 3,000 words, due by September 30, 2025.
