Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature

The Comparative Literature Department at Emory offers Ph.D. students a wide-ranging theoretical and interdisciplinary curriculum that prepares them to engage in research and teaching across traditional disciplinary boundaries and to interrogate the definition of the literary itself. In doing so, we maintain a strong focus on the specificity of literary and linguistic forms and the crucial role that literariness and the 'literary' play in critical and experimental thinking in the humanities and beyond. Comparative Literature at Emory brings the traditional aims of a Comparative Literature degree-the comparison of literatures across national boundaries-into constellation with the aims of other disciplinary formations such as Philosophy and Psychoanalysis. We also recognize the significance of engaging languages more broadly defined, including, for instance, those virtual languages or symbolic systems that are central to developments in the sciences and technology. The Department thus encourages theoretical reflection across linguistic and disciplinary boundaries, reflection that remains informed by vigilant attention to the intricacies and performative powers of language. Throughout our research and teaching, literature serves as the radical point of departure for thinking the challenge and difficulties involved in any act of comparison.
