The comparative gesture performs both the act and the question of
transition between the terms compared. Understood as an
intercultural practice, comparative literature may thus also be
understood as both a transitive and a transnational process,
creating its own object and form of knowledge as it identifies and
analyses lines of relation and exchange between literary cultures.
When navigating between languages, the discipline becomes
critically engaged with the possibility and methods of such
navigation. Interdisciplinary and intermedial versions of
comparative studies likewise centre around transitions that may
themselves remain under-analysed. This collection of essays, with
contributions ranging from medieval literature to digital
humanities, seeks to illuminate and interrogate the very diversity
of comparative situations, with their attendant versions of
comparative discourse. The volume as a whole thereby reflects,
however fragmentedly, a field of study that is itself faced with
the reality of transition. As both a thematic and formal concern in
comparative work, transition emerges, within any historical period
or other configuration in which it is charted and analysed, as key
to the renewed relevance of comparative literary scholarship and
study today.
