Abstract

In the current context of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, literature has not remained on the sidelines. Multiple literary texts have emerged and have stranded the experiences, subjectivities and aporias of the current crisis. This paper aims at describing some theoretical-methodological criteria from which to select and form a corpus of literary texts that will allow us to analyze and interpret the configurations of the traumatic core of the Covid-19 pandemic. Two central criteria are proposed: transnational literature and constellation. First, the literature of the pandemic is framed in a transnational perspective because the exchange, circulation and mobility of texts are produced materially and symbolically through the WWW, turning cyberspace into a transnational space, in which the local and the global become symbiotic. Secondly, the figure of the constellation (of Benjaminian genesis) is proposed as a methodological instrument for the construction of a corpus, since it makes it possible to find links between texts that would not usually be thought of as close or linked, facilitating improbable encounters of texts between cultures.

Keywords: covid-19 pandemic, configuration, transnational literature, constellation.
