Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Scales
by Center for Advanced Studies (CAS)
Scales:Central developments in the humanities in recent decades have involved changing standards and criteria with respect to both the objects of analysis as well as the perspectives taken and methods applied. These include, for example, “deep reading” in the field of literature studies, which applies digital humanities methods to analyze previously insurmountable volumes of texts, and global history, which frees the study of history from the framework of individual national histories. Microscopically precise examinations of works of visual art have also instigated a paradigm shift.The Research Focus “Scales” aims to gather together these developments under the question of the standards applied along with their rigorousness and fairness, explicitly including the normative implications thereof. The term “scaling” will be used to discuss current questions relating to magnitude in the humanities, which originate from the fields of natural science, mathematics and economics. Extending th

The Sociology of World Literature: Geographic, Temporal and Methodological Scales
Gisèle Sapiro is Professor of Sociology at the EHESS and Senior Researcher at CNRS. She has coedited The Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of Ideas (2023) and is author of The Sociology of Literature (Stanford UP, 2023). Sapiro was awarded a Humboldt-Forschungspreis in 2023. Her CAS lecture focuses on the concept of world literature. If world literature is defined as texts that circulate, a sociological approach needs to ask which texts circulate, how do they cross borders (or not), and under what conditions. At the macro scale, one can observe flows of literary translations within the world book market and transnational authorities such as the Nobel prize. At the meso scale, the national fields are the arena for specific competition between intermediaries (publishers, editors, literary agents, state representatives), translators and mediators (critics) around the import and export of literary works. At the micro scale, the focus is to be placed on the strategies of individual actors.
