Short Description

Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum is published by Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski and edited by the literary scholars of the Balkan Studies Masters and Doctoral Studies Program (Department of General, Indo-European, and Balkan Linguistics with the Faculty of Slavic Studies). This journal aims to encourage the study of Comparative Literature. The similarities and overlaps between less popular literatures and the well-researched canonical phenomena remain rather unexplored. Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum wants to give priority to such issues; to reconsider the clichéd notions of centres and peripheries, of one-way influences, temporary delays and topic deficiencies. It makes sense to seek the meaning of common affinities and trends, in other words – to look at what is positive, stimulating, and creative about the communication between literary and cultural phenomena. In fact, the Balkans are home to just a small share of the less researched literatures in the field of Comparative Literature. In Europe, we often know too little about our neighbours, unless they happen to be the French, German or British literatures.

Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum expresses itself in three languages: Bulgarian, French and English. It provides new opportunities for communication between scholars of Comparative Literature with the aim of a complete, conceptual and terminological understanding of new ideas within our field of research.

LEADING THEME OF THE NEXT, 2024 ISSUE:

Dystopia: traditions, genre dynamics, directions of transformation

Dystopia is a genre of crisis in the modern world, and symptomatically it is becoming increasingly relevant and popular in 21st century literature – as a genre, but no less so as a narrative approach, a type of fiction that adapts to other approaches and genres. Dystopian foresight is more than ever emerging as a practical act by which writers respond to the crises that beset our world. Even Bulgarian literature, which has almost no dystopian tradition, is experiencing a wave of interest in "anti-utopia", as we are accustomed to naming this genre.

Thematic aspects: historical roots of contemporary dystopia; continuity with the last quarter of the 20th century; political dimensions of dystopian space; subgenre forms and variations; migration of dystopian narrative to mythology, folklore and mass culture; crisis of humanism; problems of the posthuman, post-pessimism.

Papers and book reviews for the journal’s upcoming issue should be submitted no later than 31 January 2024 in either English, French, or Bulgarian by e-mail to ColloquiaCL@gmail.com
