The Comparative Literature Association of India, in collaboration with the University of Delhi, organises the XVII Biennial International Conference, “Comparative Literature as Alternative Humanities: Ethics, Affect and the Everyday Social”, 10th-12th September, 2024.
In the last few decades, scholars in the Humanities have found it necessary to examine the fundamental underpinnings upon which their disciplines are built. One of the primary questions that animated this re-examination has been regarding the very terms of our engagement with countries and communities that inhabit radically different social and moral lifeworlds, living as they do outside the orbit of European Enlightenment values that still regulate both organisation and practice within and outside the academy, across the world. How can the collection of disciplines we call the Humanities recover the capacity of self-reflection and self-criticism? Comparative Literature’s commitment to alterity and plurality gives it a foundational interest in the non-stereotypical, non-canonized, un-heard narratives of “others” that constitute a radical sense of the literary.
Papers are invited from scholars of comparative literature, translation studies, cultural studies, theatre studies, gender studies, Black studies, Dalit studies etc on any aspect of literature and culture that will help us understand and practise the Humanities in accordance with the ethical perspectives outlined above.
