This article by Linda Hutcheon is a review of Charles Bernheimer’s 1993 ACLA report as well as Comparative Literature in the Age of Multiculturalism, the collection of essays discussing the extend of the report from various point of views. The nature of the essays reveals the close relation among the social sciences, their overarching fields and how comparative literature finds itself in such state of affairs. On this, Hutcheon writes her essay summarizing the challenges posed by various definitions for the extent of comparative literature. The writers contributing Comparative Literature in the Age of Multiculturalism has varying positions. Putting them together, Hutcheon claims that such an angst for a definition of a vague field is actually its strength. As the discussions on relatively recent tendencies such as feminism or postcolonial studies gain popularity, Hutcheon observes that the literary studies takes a more central position in social sciences. Her ideas provide an example for the relation between comparative literature and cultural studies where the interdisciplinar approaches makes the problem of boundaries more eminent. The ideas presented in the paper still carries relevance today and I believe Turkish translation might help further discussions on the field in Turkey.
