Doctoral Research
Chandni Ananth’s current doctoral research looks at the role of institutions of literature as intermediaries in the circulation of books in the anglophone literary sphere. Focusing on institutions such as the Sahitya Akademi, India’s national academy of letters, this project aims to explore how institutional intermediaries promote and shape the transmission and reception of translated Indian literature in the global anglophone book market.
