| Comparatists have recognized in recent decades a shift away from exclusively national literatures and notions of place-bound culture. Particular critiques include those of De Vries on the disjunction in Braudel's analysis between late medieval and post-industrial urbanization, Casalilla on the lack of market homogeneity that impose limits on Braudel's (and Immanuel Wallerstein's) view of world economy, and Mark Elvin on the inadequacy of his comparatist remarks on China. Furthermore, its study today can provide cultural historians and literary comparatists alike with a useful mirror reflecting Meiji Japanese anxieties, misperceptions and fantasies of that inscrutable Western Other. |
