The conference titled “Comparative Literature in the 21st Century”
seeks to explore the dynamic transformations of literary studies in
the interconnected, digital multicultural world. As literature
transcends geographical, linguistic and cultural boundaries in the
modern world, comparative literature has emerged as a vital field that
fosters dialogue across traditions, disciplines and theoretical
frameworks.
This conference aims to bring together scholars, researchers,
educators, translators, and creative writers to examine how
comparative methodologies illuminate global literary interactions and
human experiences. By emphasising interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
perspectives, the conference highlights the evolving paradigms of
comparative literary studies shaped by globalisation, migration,
technological advancement, environmental concerns and shifting
socio-political realities. By encouraging them, the conference
provides a platform for innovative research and collaborative
engagement. It seeks to address how comparative literature in the 21st
century responds to emerging global challenges while preserving
diverse literary voices and traditions.
The conference is designed for academics, researchers, students,
translators, writers, and all those interested in understanding
literature beyond borders. Participants are invited to engage in
meaningful discussions that expand the scope of comparative literary
studies and contribute to a deeper understanding of global narratives
and cultural exchange in the contemporary era.
