    Does anyone know where this quote is from?

    “Non-Western literature is only recognized as ‘world literature’ when it is characterized by extroversion and engagement with what are assumed to be European discourses.”

    Cant find it in my readings :(:(:(

    Wanna switch work? I'll google that quote while you code 200 pages of transcripts for me. There's a shiny penny in it for you.

    I think it might be from this article by Franco Moretti. Not 100% sure but I remember reading that line, and I assume it's from this article so.

    How are you fixed for the take home exam? I'm going to focus on Achebe and then jackie Kay or Persepolis for Section 2. Just need to get my stupid sociology thesis out of the way so I can do some reading for this one >.<
