The aim of the SCLA is to support and strengthen Comparative Literature studies. We strive to foster an interest in literature as a form of artistic expression beyond national and linguistic boundaries, to help acquaint the community at large with the aims and values of comparative literature studies, and to help place young scholars in academic positions where they may be effective as teachers an
d scholar-critics. In order to achieve these goals the SCLA holds meetings for the purpose of presenting and discussing studies in comparative literature and cooperates with other organizations interested in the attainment of these objectives. Journal of the SCLA
Awarded the 1996 Phoenix Prize for Editorial Achievement by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, The Comparatist is a dynamic, well-established journal of comparative literature. It has appeared annually since 1977 and is currently sponsored by Whitman College. The Comparatist has traditionally published comparative work involving literary and cultural movements, literature and the arts, relations between European and non-European literatures, and inter-American literary exchanges. More recently the journal has also focused on third world, Afro-Caribbean, and Central European literary phenomena. Each issue features eight to ten articles clustered around major comparative-thematic topics, such as “Theoretical Dialogues,” “Post-Colonial Perspectives,” “Comparative Poetics,” or “Eastern-Western Relationships.” A substantial review-section evaluates important theoretical and practical concerns involving cross-cultural literary study. As a forum for literary comparatists, the journal encourages a stimulating interplay of intertextual and comparative methods, of theoretical-historical analysis, and of critical interpretation. Manuscripts, double-spaced and preferably between 4,500 and 10,000 words, should be sent in triplicate, as well as electronically, by Word attachment, to the Editor. They should follow the format described in the MLA Style Manual, 2nd ed., with internal citations and a Works Cited page at the end. Endnotes should be used sparingly, for explanatory purposes only. Contributors should confirm that they have not submitted their manuscript to any other publication and that it has not previously been published.] Contributors must become SCLA members in order to submit.
