In his article "Restaging World Literature in the Age of Neoliberalism/Neocolonialism" Shaobo Xie argues that Goethe's notion of world literature spells a genuine universalism that contributes to resistance to neoliberal imperialism. In the age of neocolonialism/neoliberalism all conduct, and all spheres of human life are framed and measured by economic terms and metrics and neoliberalism both as a governing rationality and as an economic policy is penetrating into every part of the world. The politics that is really heterogeneous or external to the rule of neoliberal capitalism in the neocolonial global present consists in thinking towards new possibilities of organizing our life in ways that are radically different than endorsed by the hegemonic global system itself. The Goethean world-literature mode of thinking, one can argue, richly nurtures such thoughts of the outside, for, while insisting on the universal as articulated in culture-specific forms, it always sees other ways of being human, other modes of making sense, and other possibilities of organizing social life.

新自由主义/新殖民主义时代的世界文学重述

谢少波在他的文章“重新解放新自由主义/新殖民主义时代的世界文学”中指出，歌德的世界文学观念是一种真正的普遍主义，有助于抵抗新自由主义帝国主义。在新殖民主义/新自由主义时代，一切行为以及人类生活的各个领域都是由经济术语和度量和新自由主义来构架和衡量的，这既是一种统治理性，又是一种经济政策正在渗透到世界的每一个角落。在新殖民地全球当下的新自由主义资本主义的统治中，真正的政治是异类的或外在的，在于思考以一种不同于霸权全球体系本身所认可的方式来组织我们生活的新可能性。哥特人的世界文学思维方式 丰富地培养了这种外部思想，因为在坚持以特定于文化的形式表达的普遍性的同时，它总是看到其他的人类方式，其他有意义的方式以及组织社会生活的其他可能性。谢少波，《重现新自由主义/新殖民主义时代的世界文学》，第15页第2页CLCWeb：比较文学与文化20.7（2018）：专刊对新殖民主义的批判性回应。埃德 国强桥
