“…It also contributes to the type of transformative worldmaking that Birgit Neumann and Gabriele Rippl describe, "such as the creation of new, non-Euro-centric geographies and the tentative entanglement of heterogeneous places into networks of reciprocal exchange." 24 The critical reflection that this attention to context requires, moreover, helps our contributors to grow in their own teaching but in ways that are fully supported via a collaborative and communal creation process focused on restoring and inspiring the contributors amidst academia's unrelenting demands. As one of our authors recently told us, "the UVC process took a good idea .…”

This essay reflects on the first three years of Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom's work. While we initially perceived our project and corresponding website as a space to develop and circulate pedagogical materials, it has become clear that what we have accomplished since our launch goes far beyond mere content creation. In fact, the community-building portion of our project has become the driving force of our mission. For us, community-buildling is activism in action, as it allows us to change the conditions of academia in real time, by making intentional choices that foster more equitable interactions with one another and with our collaborators. Although the content we publish is, of course, important for ensuring Victorian studies centers questions of race, we view this content as the organic outgrowth of the careful and caring relationships we have been cultivating since our inception, commencing with the four of us and expanding outward to our contributors. Indeed, centering race in scholarship and teaching means little when students and teacher-scholars of color remain cast aside by academic norms, structures, and forms of relation that have been shaped by the increasingly commercialized neoliberal university.

“…But the works studied are treated as ideological tools, independent of the system of publishers, critics, prizes, and academies in which they were originally embedded. On the other hand, theories of “world literature” (Buchholz 2017; Casanova 1999, 2005; Moretti 2013) conveniently ignore vast areas of literary history, such as East Asian proletarian literary movements (Cho 2018) or the USSR's “People's Republic of Letters” (Djagalov 2018), and end up offering a very Eurocentric and implicitly normative conception of literature (Friedman 2013; Neuman and Rippl 2017). Only when they can be opposed to dissident authors are authoritarian writers considered part of a literary system, but one in which autonomous actors struggles against heteronomous ones.…”

This article analyzes questions of literary production and literary value in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) using quantitative methods and data sets covering a significant part of the country's literary and intellectual output over forty years (1977–2016). The first part of the article adopts a thematic approach, using topic modeling and time series, to map the DPRK's literary output and investigate the influence of genre on literary consecration. The second part looks at questions of style and literary quality in the DPRK through a comparative analysis of multiple novels grouped by degree of literary prestige. It introduces a method to evaluate the originality of an author's writing style using a masked language model (BERT) and uses it to assess the role of conformity and originality in the DPRK's literary field. Even though writers consecrated by the state display a high level of stylistic conformity when writing mandated biographies of the ruling family, their independent output ranks higher in originality than nonconsecrated writers.

“…Cependant, comme l'a bien remarqué Rosendahl Thomsen (2013), il s'agit moins d'un corpus d'oeuvres aux identités culturelles et nationales différentes, que d'un champ paradigmatique qui ouvre sur des rencontres culturelles et linguistiques par le moyen de la littérature. Cette littérature est avant tout représentée par les auteurs (im)migrants (Boehmer 1995;Rosendahl Thomsen 2013 (Apter 2013;Neumann & Rippl 2017), sans aspérités sur lesquelles ne butterait un lectorat occidental. Cependant, cette littérature visible, promue et légitimée à plusieurs instances du système des lettres, n'est que le sommet de l'iceberg de la littérature qui circule à des échelles variées, sous la surface de la circulation globale.…”
