The contemporary reframing of comparative literary studies marks a definitive departure from traditional, nation-bound models toward a more fluid and expansive modernity. This shift is characterized by the rise of transnationalism, which moves beyond rigid borders to explore how stories migrate and transform across global cultures. Central to this evolution is the integration of cinema and digital media as vital subjects of study, where literature is no longer viewed in isolation but as part of a broader "intermedial" landscape. By synthesizing these diverse medium, the seminar demonstrates how modern comparative studies offer a comprehensive understanding of how meaning is constructed and consumed in our increasingly interconnected world.
