Call for Group Proposals

The Congresses of the ICLA welcome papers and panel sessions on all aspects of comparative literature. Without precluding this inclusivity, they also set a theme or themes as special focus for our triennial gathering. The theme chosen for the XXIV Congress in 2025 is “Comparative Literature and Technology”, a relationship that raises important and even urgent questions today, but which has been relevant through the history of literature and culture. 

In attempts to balance the digital and the so-called “traditional comparative literature studies,” this call for propos als welcomes submission of a wide range of topics of interests to comparatists worldwide.

We invite proposals for group sessions and individual papers: 

• Group session proposals can be closed (all speakers are already specified in the proposal) or open (they welcome proposal of papers). Deadline for proposal of group session: 14th February, 2024.
