ACLA in the LA Times

Article by Reed Johnson (L.A. Times), "Living with constant comparisons"

Our theme, “Trans, Pan, Inter: Cultures in Contact,” foregrounds what is, in any case, basic to Comparative Literature as a discipline: analysis of relations between and among writers, works, languages, traditions, cultures, nations, continents, and histories, and exploration of the methods and mechanisms by which those relations create meaning.
