| Summary: | This paper provides a description of the development of the ‘Study of
Comparative Literature’; its naming, origins, schools of study, and scope of
study. From its inception, Comparative Literature ‘ what is’ Comparative
Literature and its study has been a matter of question, from inside the
earliest schools of study in France and beyond its borders. De Certeau’s
“Practice Theory” has been employed seeking to resolve the cultural and
linguistic differences in the name of the field, as well as the subject of study.
Then, the social and theoretical influences which differentiate the dominant
French and rivaling American schools of Comparative Literature are
outlined. These serve as a background for the introduction of Post-Colonial
Studies. Examples of the expanding range of studies in Comparative
Literature are presented, including remarks of their ‘acceptedness’ as
Comparative Literature, or not . |
