Abstract
This article examines the relationship between globalization and world literature, emphasizing how cultural exchange influences the production, circulation, and reception of literary texts across borders. Drawing on theories by Goethe, Damrosch, Casanova, Moretti, Venuti, and Appadurai, it explores translation, transnational circulation, and the negotiation of meaning in diverse cultural contexts. The study highlights patterns of thematic convergence, genre evolution, and literary hybridization that emerge through global literary interactions. It also considers the structural inequalities in recognition and dissemination within the world literary system. The findings demonstrate that globalization not only facilitates the spread of literature but also transforms its interpretation and significance, fostering intercultural dialogue and enhancing understanding of human experience. Overall, the article underscores the role of world literature as a dynamic medium for connecting cultures and reflecting the complexities of contemporary global literary exchange.
