Endangered Literature

The present publication focuses on the examination of literary diversity. One
the one hand it deals with the litarature of various endangered languages
(especially that of the Sami), and develops first considerations in
constructing a comparative paradigm for mapping the vulnerability of literary
processes. On the other, this books pays attention to thematic, formal and
stylistic aspects of contemporary translingual literary productions. Special
attention is here given to the latest developments in the Finnish literary
field. The foci of endangerment and translingualism require addressing several
other related literary phenomena such as literary ecology, écriture
multiculturelle, code-switching or intercultural dialogism in present day
world literature.
