| Summary: | "English summary: Cultural infinity is around us, but, like the horizon, it tends to flee before our eyes. It is on the walls invested by street art; or in the cobwebs to which Tomás Saraceno paid homage; or in postage stamps which, as Walter Benjamin and Italo Calvino knew, are windows to the world. Whatever its manifestations, the infinite challenges us to consider the extraordinary diversity of the planet. Facing him, what to do, in literature? Remain humble, for example, and formulate adequate hypotheses. Try to thwart the asymmetries that prevent each other from expressing themselves everywhere in good conditions. Review the foundations of world literature and resonate with an authentically planetary culture. French summary: L'infini culturel est autour de nous, mais, comme l'horizon, il tend à fuir sous nos yeux. Il est sur les murs investis par le street art ; ou dans les toiles d'araignée auxquelles Tomás Saraceno a rendu homage ; ou dans les timbres-poste qui, comme savaient Walter Benjamin et Italo Calvino, sont des fenêtres ouvertes sur le monde. Quelle que soient ses manifestations, l'infini nous engage à considérer l'extraordinaire diversité de la planète. Face à lui, que faire, en littérature ? Rester humble, par exemple, et formuler des hypothèses adéquates. Tenter de déjouer les asymétries qui empêchent les uns et les autres de s'exprimer partout dans de bonnes conditions. Revoir les fondements de la world literature et se mettre en résonance avec une culture authentiquement planétaire"-- |
