How to think the world, its plurality, coexistence in times of post-politics and after the global failure of theories of salvation? This article reviews theories of world, globe, sphere, worlding, planet, reflects on the most recent critiques of the concept of world and asks about the role of Mexican literature in the attempt to configure relational practices that allow thinking the plurality of worlds as the potential of a common world. The exploration of narrative (Glantz), chronicles (Monsiváis) and poetry (Moscona) demonstrates the critical work of literature in the face of the ambiguity of the media and its global connectivity. The singular, the fragment, the body, the voice, the affections are the starting point of a situated epistemology, critical of the global, and at the same time capable of relating to the plurality of worlds in order to think possible worlds as an ontological modality of a common world.
