Here we go now: The G+C Blog is proud to exclusively publish an interview with Franco Moretti. As previously announced, the interview was conducted by Ruben Hackler and Guido Kirsten in Zurich this march, following a workshop with the renowned literary scholar at the center "History of Knowledge." The contribution is part of our series on "Distant Reading and Discourse Analysis." In this extensive interview, Moretti talks about his intellectual influences, the development of his controversial concepts, and the question what literary history might contribute to a social critique of the present.
