Abstract
David Damrosch’s formulation of world literature has energized the field but struggles to include texts that circulate but are not “read as literature.” This essay takes up the case of songs, and particularly Bhojpuri songs, and follows their trajectory of circulation and of linguistic adaptation to prise open this formulation and make space for songs and oral literature.
