Comparative Literature offers students the opportunity to pursue their love of literature beyond national and disciplinary boundaries. It situates the study of literature in a 21st-century global context that takes account of cultural and linguistic diversity as well as changing technologies and new media. Students study literature’s intersections with other media and disciplines such as philosophy, religion, history, law, film studies, and psychoanalysis, and take courses in areas as varied as Exemplary Novels, French poetry, Russian Film, Literature and Justice, Postcolonial Popular Culture, Disaster Literature or Latin American Magical Realism.
