Overview
About the program
Comparative Literature at Emory University brings the traditional aims of a Comparative Literature degree-the comparison of literatures across national boundaries-into constellation with the aims of other disciplinary formations such as Philosophy and Psychoanalysis.
We also recognize the significance of engaging "languages" more broadly defined, including, for instance, those virtual languages or symbolic systems that are central to developments in the sciences and technology.
The Department thus encourages theoretical reflection across linguistic and disciplinary boundaries, reflection that remains informed by vigilant attention to the intricacies and performative powers of language.
Throughout our research and teaching, literature serves as the radical point of departure for thinking the challenge and difficulties involved in any act of comparison.
