📖 项目简介

The Centre for Comparative Literature offers Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs to students qualified to pursue literary studies involving multiple languages. Students pursue research across languages and national literatures, engaging with theoretical issues that cross traditional disciplines. The centre’s faculty and students work across linguistic boundaries, employing rigorous critical and theoretical lenses to bring into dialogue literature and other cultural forms that are often kept apart by artificially constructed institutional, geographical or ideological boundaries.

At the heart of the research by faculty and students is the close engagement with cultural products in their original languages. Knowledge of languages is a key component in our practice of Comparative Literature. Comparative Literature examines both the contexts of literature and the interaction among literatures. The practice of Comparative Literature at Toronto extends to visual expression as well, with film, photography or graphic novels figuring prominently in the projects of many faculty and students. Graduate programs at the Centre for Comparative Literature foster rigorous reading practices and theoretical reflection.
