Masters of Arts in Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature concentration in Comparative Literature

Program Overview

Comparative Literature is a graduate program of study for the Master of Arts, available to majors in British, French, German, Italian, Peninsular Spanish, Latin American or United States literatures.

Comparative Literature broadens the context of single works of literature, provides a method of looking beyond the national frontiers of languages and cultures, and studies major authors, periods, genres, trends and movements in international contexts.

Comparative Literature is also, by tradition, the study of literature beyond the geocultural boundaries of one particular country or hemispheric region. In addition, it pays special attention to the study of relationships between literature and other areas of knowledge and intellectual inquiry. These include linguistics, the visual and performing arts (e.g., cinema, painting, sculpture, architecture, music), philosophy, history, the social sciences (e.g., politics, economics, sociology), the sciences, religion, and so forth. In sum, it is the comparison of the literary with other spheres of human epistemology, expression and intellectual investigation.

A cardinal feature of the graduate curriculum is the small core requirement in terms of specific courses, and the correspondingly large number of electives taken in different fields. Each student develops his or her own program in consultation with Comparative Literature faculty and pursues individually supervised research projects, beginning in LIT 6066 and culminating in a comparative thesis (30-credit program) or an exam without a thesis (36-credit program). An additional forum for discussion and cooperative effort is FACS (Florida Atlantic Comparative Studies), a professional scholarly journal edited in the Department of Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature.
