%0 Journal Article %T Apology of Immigrant Literature: Toward a Planetary Hospitality? %A Meiss %A Paula %J 452o F : Revista de Teor¨ªa de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada %D 2010 %I Asociaci¨®n 452?F %X This paper suggests the possibility of making use of the narrative of migration as the object of study of a comparatist discipline that takes into account Armando Gnisci¡¯s considerations on hospitality, as well as Gayatri Spivak¡¯s on planetarity and comparative literature. In this sense, the paper aims at suggesting a possible line of research en comparative literature that needs not rely on the concept of national literature to be developed. The analysis of the narrative of migration, through a series of variables well recognised in travel literature, allows both in form and contents a comparatism of the encounter. %K Travel %K Migration %K Comparative literature %K Gnisci %K Spivak %K Weltliteratur %U http://www.452f.com/pdf/numero02/02_452F_mono_meiss_indiv.pdf
