Welcome to the Cultural life of the Nobel Prize in Literature podcast, where we explore the Literature Prize’s social, ideological, and institutional functions, as the most recognised literary honour in the world.Amidst mounting skepticism towards the legitimacy and credibility of the Nobel, as an arbiter of global literary excellence, its status as the preeminent literary prize remains. However, our understanding of the uses of the Literature Prize’s prestige has yet to be fully fleshed out.We believe it is important to think about what we stand to gain and lose by preserving the prestige of the Nobel. So in this podcast series, we speak with scholars and writers from around the world to discuss the Nobel Prize in Literature’s prestige, or its cultural life, as a signifier of meaning, a structuring of discourse, and even a narrative motif, in different cultures and societies.
