Dialogic encounters
This core essay directly tackles the dissemination and migration of realist practices beyond the boundaries of Europe (and back), along pathways that are not just linear but rather radiate in many directions and foster circulation and dialogue. The traveling practices are carried by migratory moves of people and with them texts, values and worldviews, as well as by modern technologies and in cultural contexts generated by conflicts and wars. The essay focuses explicitly on the consequences of colonialism and globalization by selecting migration as a representative topic, also in its entanglement with war. Migration influences the experience of place and the role of language in hybrid environments which gives prominence to translation as a contextualized dialogic rewriting. Unlike previous ostensibly purist studies of realist practices that travel, this essay attends to the hybridization of indigenous traditions and cultural epistemologies faced with external norms and worldviews, and also with the consequences of war taking literatures on experiences during the First World War as concrete examples. Such encounters can stimulate innovation through adaptation and appropriation; they also travel onward to stimulate transformation of other literatures. The worlding of realism, then, attends to the play of intertextuality, recovery and resistance which, at each encounter, disseminate and transform realism. The goal of this examination of alternative and variegated emergent realist practices is to engage with coexisting forms of realism across the globe and critical practices and their impact on what we today recognize as realist.
