Song Baomei, associate professor from Northeast Agricultural University, interviewed Professor Tihanov when working as a visiting scholar at Queen Mary, University of London. This interview encapsulates Professor Tihanov＇s view on world literature, exile and Cosmopolitanism. Beginning with the features that differentiate Bakhtin from other contemporary currents of literary and cultural theory and his relevance to the twenty-first century, Professor Tihanov makes thought-provoking remarks on the issues on the necessity and importance of exile and exilic writing for world literature and comparative literature, believing that the prism of exile allows us to go beyond the constrains of national literature, the concept of world literature and how the regional literature fits into the dynamic of redefining of the concept as well as his view on the Euro-American idea of wold literature, and finally the concept of cosmopolitanism and its relationship with the study of world literature.
