  • Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction - 5. The futures of Comparative Literature
    Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ben Hutchinson
    Abstract:

    Comparative Literature is both central and marginal to literary studies: central because it draws on almost every discipline in the Humanities; marginal because it is not tied to any single tradition, risking being ignored by all of them. For all its past struggles and present debates, Comparative Literature has an increasingly central role to play in the Humanities’ future. ‘The futures of Comparative Literature’ explains that in this age of specialists, generalists continue to play a vital role in shaping and supporting the life of the mind. International, interdisciplinary forms of knowledge remain the very essence of modernity. Now more than ever, the aesthetic education of Comparative Literature is indispensable.

  • Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction
    Very Short Introductions, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ben Hutchinson
    Abstract:

    Comparative Literature is both the past and the future of literary studies. Its history is intimately linked to the political upheavals of modernity: from colonial empire-building in the 19th century to the postcolonial culture wars of the 21st century. But what is Comparative Literature? Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction tells the story of Comparative Literature as an agent of international relations, from the point of view both of scholarship and of cultural history. Outlining the complex history and competing theories of Comparative Literature, it offers an accessible means of entry into a notoriously slippery subject, and shows the value and importance of encountering Literature from outside one’s own culture.

  • Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction
    2018
    Co-Authors: Ben Hutchinson
    Abstract:

    Comparative Literature is both the past and the future of literary studies. Its history is intimately linked to the political upheavals of modernity: from colonial empire-building in the nineteenth century, via the Jewish diaspora of the twentieth century, to the postcolonial culture wars of the twenty-first century, attempts at 'comparison' have defined the international agenda of Literature. But what is Comparative Literature? This Very Short Introduction tells the story of Comparative Literature as an agent of international relations, from the point of view both of scholarship and of cultural history more generally. Outlining the complex history and competing theories of Comparative Literature, Ben Hutchinson offers an accessible means of entry into a notoriously slippery subject, and shows how Comparative Literature can be like a Rorschach test, where people see in it what they want to see. Ultimately, Comparative Literature emerges at the very heart of literary criticism, for as George Steiner once noted, 'to read is to compare'.

  • global translatio the invention of Comparative Literature istanbul 1933
    Critical Inquiry, 2003
    Co-Authors: Emily Apter
    Abstract:

    253 This essay grew out of dialogue with Aamir Mufti, whose own essay “Auerbach in Istanbul” provided crucial inspiration. I also acknowledge with profound gratitude the contribution of Tulay Atak, whose discovery and translation of Spitzer’s “Learning Turkish” article proved indispensable. The interview with Suyehla Bayrav was arranged by Tulay and her friends. Thanks are also due to Fredric Jameson, who put me in touch with Sibel Irzik and her colleagues at the Bosporos University. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Andreas Huyssen, and David Damrosch offered invaluable suggestions when a version of this essay was presented at Columbia University. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht was kind enough to share his manuscript “Leo Spitzer’s Style,” a rich source of literary history for this period.
