ON CONTEMPORARY COMPARATIVE LITERATURE
Viktorija Franić
; Tomić
Abstract
In this paper the author gives a critical overview on the literary theoretical achievements in Croatian comparative literature from their beginnings to date, with a special focus placed on the problem points and lacunas in the first theoretical works of Croatian and foreign comparativists. The discussion establishes a distinction
between traditional comparative literature, often called the French school, and the contemporary comparative literature. Based on the experiences and insights, further development of comparative literature is foreseen, especially in the light of new trends in the theory of literature, all with regard to the terminology such as
interdisciplinarity and supranational point of view as well as with regard to the current literary theoretical and methodological trends such as New Historicism, culturological and gender studies.
