The Planet of Literature: Franco Moretti’s Neo-perspectivist Method. This study focuses on the revolutionary method of quantitative analysis, as it is employed within the field of literary studies by the literary historian and theorist Franco Moretti. (is approach to the evolution of literary genres is pervaded by both a rational view upon literature and a certain postmodern perspectivism. Through such an integrative analysis of the different systems and networks of literature, literary history can become a scholarly discipline that is finally freed from its internal complexes. Keywords: distant reading, world literature, perspectivism, literary systems, graphs, rationality, Franco Moretti REZUMAT. Planeta literaturii: Metoda neoperspectivistă a lui Franco Moretti. Studiul se focalizează asupra metodei revoluţionare a analizei cantitative, aşa cum este ea exploatată în interiorul câmpului studiilor literare de către istoricul şi teoreticianul literar Franco Moretti. Abordarea pe care el o are asupra evoluţiei genurilor literare este impregnată atât de o viziune raţionalistă asupra literaturii, cât şi de un perspectivism postmodern. Printr-o astfel de analiză integratoare a diferitelor sisteme şi reţele ale literaturii, istoria literară poate deveni o disciplină academică eliberată, în fine, de complexele ei intrinseci.
