Comparative Criticism: Histories and Methods 25th- 26th September 2013 St Anne’s College, Oxford All are welcome to this conference which is being held in collaboration with the British Comparative Literature Association. Contact: [email protected] The way we do comparative criticism affects the histories we tell of it; and the histories we tell affect our practice. Our conference will explore this interaction. There will be sessions on literature in the world; comparative philology; classical reception; influence and translation; appropriation and resistance; and tropes of comparison. Prof Ritchie Robertson (Oxford) will speak on Weltliteratur before Goethe; Prof Joep Leerssen (Amsterdam) on the history of comparative literature in Britain; Prof Mihály Szegedy-Maszák (Budapest and Indiana) on interart studies. Representatives of the BCLA will describe the state of the discipline today. We will focus on texts from Asia and Africa as well as Europe; and we will give attention to the interplay between the criticism of written texts and that of film, dance, music and visual art. Is ‘comparative criticism’ a distinct formulation that might usefully challenge or complement ‘comparative literature’?
