This article introduces three distinct theories emerging from contemporary Chinese literary circles: the search for “global elements” proposed by Chen Sihe, Cao Shunqing’s variation theory, and Wang Ning’s concept of “global poetics.” Each of these theories creatively reimagines the relationship between Chinese literature and world literature, challenging the dominant image of a literary system that has been mostly shaped by Western aesthetics and concepts. In this context, world literature is conceptualized in the article as a kind of ideoscape. Although each of these three contributions pursues slightly different aims, they all hold the potential to expand our understanding of the global circulation of literary ideas.
