No. 6 (2024): Literature and Comparative Studies: Theories, Paradigms, Models

Ed: Ângela Fernandes, Donata Meneghelli, Jan Baetens

The sixth issue of Compendium is dedicated to the reflection on the current position, the shifting practices and the conflicting views about the field of Comparative Studies within the Humanities in the early twenty-first century. Considering Literature as the creative field that first witnessed the consolidation of comparative approaches, this issue offers articles and book reviews exploring relevant and timely topics, from historical and geographical debates to feminist perspectives or cyborg culture. Additionally, it includes a questionnaire where scholars from different backgrounds present their personal engagement with the field, their position regarding some key issues and their view on the near future.
