About

The Comparative Literature Master of Arts Program is a one-year interdisciplinary program that approaches literary study from a variety of theoretical and interpretative perspectives. More than 25 members from different departments actively participate in the program, including Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures, Classics, English, Film and Media Studies, German Studies, French and Italian, Russian, and Spanish and Portuguese. The special focus of the M.A. is both to give graduate students the methodological, cultural, linguistic, and pedagogical training they need for advanced work in Comparative Literature and to encourage them to pursue their independent research interests.

The aim of our Master in Comparative Literature is to provide the tools necessary for Ph.D. study or for professional careers in translation, teaching, publishing, and international studies, among others.

Prospective Students

The Master of Arts program offers the opportunity for in-depth work with a tutor, intense course work in Comparative Literature, upper division courses, intensive languages training, and broad-based theory and methodology courses. The program embraces both close attention to languages and broader inquiry into the relationship between literature and other disciplines, such as visual and performing arts, philosophy, history, the social sciences, religion, music and even sciences. Our M.A. also provides the students with ample opportunity to study literature and culture from and a wide array of perspectives. Among those are rhetoric and poetics, translation, narratology, and hermeneutics, theories of ethnic identities, colonial and postcolonial studies, gender and queer theory, psychoanalysis and Marxism.

Applications

We seek innovative and inquisitive scholars who share our passion for languages and cultures, western and non-western literatures, and for critically thinking different types of texts and aesthetic expressions.

Application deadline is January 15th.
