Comparative Literature Today

Summary/Abstract: The reflection on Comparative Literature in this paper is contextualized in the wider sphere of humanities. Three interdisciplinary nexuses: Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Education in general are discussed as modes of overcoming the evident crises in humanities in academia today. They are analyzed through their common tendencies and points of intersection and through their diverse strategies and practices. The presumption of this discussion is the complexity of Comparative Literature as academic discipline, which is more likely to be a kind of intellectual adventure forced by the perpetual curiosity for crossing all the barriers on the way of understanding and enjoying in the creative acts of all kinds. The more profound literature and art researches, stressing the aesthetical values, lead us to the general aesthetics; and on the other hand, analyzes that situate arts and literature in context not insisting on the aesthetic criteria involve us in cultural studies. The three mentioned areas are seen in the paper as sides of the same triangle of the humanities.
