Are we comparing yet? On standards, justice, and incomparability

Saussy H. Are we comparing yet? On standards, justice, and incomparability. BiUP General . Bielefeld: Bielefeld University Press; 2019.Debates about the possibility of an open culture – or indeed about the possibility of an open debate about the openness of culture – often turn on questions of standards. But since no benchmark can be absolute, judgement is a proliferation of comparisons. Through a series of case studies in everyday and academic comparison (literature, history, politics, philosophy), Haun Saussy calls out the typical vices of comparison and proposes ways to unseat them. For however much it is abused, distorted, and manipulated, comparison retains an essential link to the idea of justice

Sebastian Veg, Fictions du pouvoir chinois : Littérature, modernisme et démocratie au début du XXe siècle

On ne fera pas justice à la très grande qualité de ce livre si on le considère comme un exemple de la littérature comparée traditionnelle. Cette discipline utilise les textes comme autant d'éclairages jetant la lumière sur un objet donné : la comparaison tourne autour de la manière dont divers auteurs de langue, de nationalité et d'époque différentes, traitent d'un thème ou d'un genre considéré comme stable pour les besoins de l'étude. Le livre de Sebastian Veg n'a pas pour sujet « la Chine »..

Sebastian Veg, Fictions du pouvoir chinois : Littérature, modernisme et démocratie au début du XXe siècle

The excellence of this book risks being unappreciated if it is taken as the usual sort of comparative literature study. Books in this field often treat their texts as offering varying perspectives on the same thing: the comparison pivots around what authors of different languages, nationalities, and periods do with a theme or genre taken as stable for the purposes of the investigation.
