LITTÉRATURE GÉNÉRALE LITTÉRATURE COMPARÉE- GE...

One of the main dimensions of Comparative Literature is its search for methods and theoretical
frameworks that have some chance of being valid in a range of periods of human history and in a
variety of cultures. While universal validity may be a pipedream at worst  at best an ideal to
which to aspire  there can be no doubt as to the active existence of a general
Literaturwissenschaft dealing with problems and perspectives which are common to literatures of
all cultures. As can be seen in the present volume  the commonalities serve us best when they
are used as exploratory tools rather than rigidly preset truths. The five groupings of papers:
Historical landmarks  Myths of all times and places  Reflections on Drama  Aspects of Poetics 
and Before and after all  the text  share in an intensive quest for an answer to the question
of what ultimately constitutes literature  underlies fictionality  motivates the aesthetic
experience  in an interplay of the universal and the particular which forever defies narrow
definitions.
