Debates and discourses surrounding migration—particularly in Europe—are dominated by narratives centred on security and crisis management. The distortion this creates in the public perception of migrants, alongside the xenophobia it indirectly fuels, obscures the social, political, and cultural contributions that define these exchanges. This series of essays seeks to demonstrate how, through media, art, and literature, migration to the European continent does not merely entail adaptation but actively shapes and enriches host societies. Drawing from philosophical, cultural and media studies and sociological perspectives, the authors propose a kaleidoscopic view of migratory processes, recontextualising concepts, periods, and interactions in the contemporary world. Here, migration emerges as a dynamic and creative force capable of reframing cultural and social action—both for host and origin communities—as well as redefining notions of belonging and group identity. Simultaneously, the essays call for a re-evaluation of hospitality policies and cultural rights, essential to understanding the transformative capacity of existing structures—and the potential to reimagine them through a new lens.

Goethe in 1827 famously claimed that national literatures did not mean very much anymore, and that the epoch of world literature was at hand. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, in the so-called "transnational turn" in literary studies, interest in world literature, and in how texts move beyond national or linguistic boundaries, has peaked. The authors of the 18 articles making up Literary Transnationalism(s) reflect on how literary texts move between cultures via translation, adaptation, and intertextual referencing, thus entering the field of world literature. The texts and subjects treated range from Caribbean, American, and Latin American literature to European migrant literatures, from the uses of pseudo-translations to the organizing principles of world histories of literature, from the dissemination of knowledge in the middle ages to circulation of literary journals and series in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributors include, amongst others, Jean Bessière, Johan Callens, Reindert Dhondt, César Domínguez, Erica Durante, Ottmar Ette, Kathleen Gyssels, Reine Meylaerts, and Djelal Kadir. Authors discussed comprise, amongst others, Carlos Fuentes, Ernest Hemingway, Edouard Glissant.
