The study is concerned with contemporary theoretical concepts of world literature (“literature of the world”, “worldliness of literature”, “world literary system”, “world literary republic”). Considering the results of the XXII International Congress ICLA/AICL in Macau 2019, it discusses how the concepts are reflected in the Slovenian scholar Marko Juvan´s monograph Worlding a Peripheral Literature (2019). The book analyses conditions under which small national texts (for example, Slavic) become world texts. According to Juvan, the space of world literature was historically originating in the mid-nineteenth century, in parallel with the genesis of national literatures. The decisive factors of this process included the importance of language and the significance of the country. On the one hand, Juvan’s idea of world literature admits that an acceptable consensus can be reached in the form of an epistemological and terminological basis defined by a set of concrete concepts and principles, on the other hand, the acceptance of inequality between the so-called big and small literatures as a way of thinking is a consequence of economic and mass media globalization. Overall, however, Juvan’s concept, inspired by Moretti’s theory of evolution and economic models, brings a fundamental theoretical contribution to current discussions on the forms, essence, and functions of world literature as a universal phenomenon.

该研究涉及当代世界文学的理论概念（“世界的文学”、“文学的世俗性”、“世界文学体系”、“世界文学共和国”）。结合2019年在澳门举行的第二十二届ICLA/AICL国际大会的成果，讨论斯洛文尼亚学者Marko Juvan的专着《世界边缘文学》中如何体现这些概念（2019）。该书分析了小型民族文本（例如斯拉夫语）成为世界文本的条件。尤万认为，世界文学空间在历史上起源于十九世纪中叶，与民族文学的起源并行。这一过程的决定性因素包括语言的重要性和国家的重要性。朱万的世界文学观一方面承认，可以通过一套具体概念和原则所定义的认识论和术语基础的形式达成可接受的共识，另一方面，也承认所谓的“文学”之间的不平等。所谓大文学和小文学作为一种思维方式是经济和大众传媒全球化的结果。然而，总的来说，Juvan 的概念，
