The aim of my essay is to distinguish the aspects of the filmic experience that are decisive in relation to the film’s capability to sensitize the viewer to social issues in Williams’s sociology of culture. In order to do that, I will take into consideration Williams’s understanding of film as a particular medium that is connected with the general dramatic tradition and is able to realize a total expression of the structure of feeling rooted in every aspect of community life. On the basis of Williams’s understanding of film, I will analyze the film’s potential for social innovation from the standpoint of the viewing subject. In the later part of my essay, I will argue that the filmic experience’s capability to promote phantasies is a decisive element in relation to the expressive power of the film. I will analyze the role of phantasy in relation to the socially innovative potential of film in the accounts of the filmic experience provided both by Williams and by other authors that follow in Williams’s footstep by conceiving the filmic flow as a gaze located outside the viewer. Finally, I will draw my conclusions concerning the elements of the filmic experience that are decisive in relation to the film’s potential for social innovation.

Taking its cue from recent scholarship de-linking the idea of “modernity” from the idea of “the West”, this article advocates the notion of “world literature” as the body of literature that has, in the last 150 to 200 years, registered and encoded the social logic of modernity. Building on Franco Moretti’s postulation of a single world-literary system (structured not merely by difference but also by inequality) and on the theoretical work of Fredric Jameson, the article traces some of the ways in which the local detail of peripheral modernity is represented in literary texts by Thomas Mofolo, Patrick Chamoiseau, Lao She, Rohinton Mistry, Ivan Vladislavić and others, demonstrating that there is no necessary contradiction between the ideas of the “universal” and the “local” or the “national”, but that, on the contrary, there are only local universalisms (and, for that matter, only “local cosmopolitanisms”), which it becomes the task of readers to situate as completely as they can.

Wyciagając wnioski z ostatnich badań, oddzielających ideę „nowoczesności” od idei „Zachodu”, artykuł broni pojęcia „literatury światowej” jako korpusu, który w ciągu ostatnich 150–200 lat, rejestrował i deszyfrował społeczną logikę nowoczesności. Artykuł, oparty o postulat Franco Morettiego, dotyczący pojedynczego systemu literatury światowej (którego struktura bazuje nie tylko na różnicy, ale również na nierówności) i na teoretycznych pracach Fredrica Jamesona, wskazuje kilka sposobów, w jakich lokalna specyfika peryferyjnej nowoczesności jest reprezentowana w tekstach literackich Thomasa Mofoli, Paricka Chamoiseau, Lao She, Rohintona Mistry'ego, Ivana Vladislavicia i innych, ukazując, że nie istnieje konieczna sprzeczność pomiędzy ideami tego, co „uniwersalne” i „lokalne” lub „narodowe”, ale że – przeciwnie – istnieją jedynie lokalne uniwersalizmy (i dlatego „lokalne kosmopolityzmy”), zaś do czytelników należy ich możliwie dokładne usytuowanie.
