Comparative Literature: Fresh Frontiers and New Challenges

Abstract

Abstract

The paper titled ?Comparative Literature: Fresh Frontiers and New Challenges? attempts to analyse the new roles and responsibilities, Comparative Literature assumes in the postcolonial age. In the context of culture jamming and homogenization, Comparative Literature is encountering multiple and complex challenges, necessitating the need for redefining the perspectives and functions connected with critical and creative performances in the area. Beyond the common endeavor of compering two literatures, it is supposed to play a definite role in encountering multi culturalism. The paper analyses the paradigm shifts that have taken place in perspectives, practice, interpretations and interference in the field of Comparative Literary endeavours in the context of globalized standpoints. It is supposed to stand for the cause of the hitherto unheard and marginalized literatures, at the same time facilitating the process of establishing dialogues with other literatures. Key words:
