Quid CompLit?

Abstract

As to the immediate future of Comparative Literature, it seems safe to bet on, next to the carrying-on of the traditional variant of the discipline, a continuation of interest in World Literature, Translation Studies, and Trans/Area Studies as the “hottest” sub-branches of the discipline. Next to this, Postcolonialism, Decoloniality, Migration Studies, Ecological Criticism, and Health Studies (from Disability to Epi/Pandemics) increasingly lend themselves to a comparative approach, even to the point of meshing.
