The conference seeks to foster discussions on theories, practices and pedagogies of Comparative Literature across different academic spaces. It intends to bring together practitioners of Comparative Literature primarily from India and the UK to share perspectives on collusive and collusive narratives regarding histories, theories, practices and perceived scopes and limits of Comparative Literature.
How different are the narratives of Comparative Literature across space and time? What are the different loci along which our discipline has been defined and redefined? What kind of convergences, and indeed just as significantly, divergences, can be noted in terms of our perceived objects of study, and what kind of methods inform our practices of Comparative Literature in different academic spaces? These are some of the core questions this conference hopes to address.
The broad thrust areas of the conference will be:
· Comparative Literature Methodology
· Translation Studies
· Reception Studies
