Class description
Comparative Literature is often professed as a middle ground for contending approaches rather than a discipline in its own right. Yet as an institution and as a field of study, Comparative Literature has developed specific paradigms, encouraged particular directions of enquiry, and fostered relations with other programs. The course surveys contending and complementary models of Comparative Literature, providing an introduction to founding texts and the academic politics in which they have taken part.
