Department of Comparative Literature, Yale University
The Department of Comparative Literature at Yale has a long tradition of excellence in the study of literature and literary theory across national and disciplinary boundaries. From narrative fiction and poetry, the department’s historical strengths, to dynamic new areas of expansion in film and media studies, visual arts, intellectual history and philosophy, history of the book and the archive, and the history of science, the department’s diverse faculty consistently seeks to extend the discipline’s reach, while remaining committed to the study of literary history. For much of its history, the strength of the department rested implicitly in the analysis of European literature, but it has expanded to include vaster global range of linguistic expertise and interest. Current faculty research encompasses topics including contemporary poetry across the Middle East; global Chinese diaspora literature; Soviet-Asian literary exchanges; Latin American and Caribbean adaptations of Greek tragedy; early modern attempts to conceptualize and map the globe; and contemporary world cinema and visual culture.
