Do you study comparative literature? Why did you decide to do it?

My apologies that I am only getting to this now! I have studied Comparative Literature and am now an alumnus. My bachelor's degree was in literary studies, so I already had a background in the methodologies of the field. The comparative angle, however, has enabled me to explore intersections of fields of study I otherwise would not have come to. Think for example of embodiment, illness and literature, three subjects I have been loving to work with!

I am nearly through my third draft of the thesis and I couldn't be happier! Whilst I am not yet completely satisfied with the final product and will in fact still be revising, I am glad that I have all of it on paper now. At the moment I am waiting for feedback from my amazing supervisor and whilst I wait, I am finishing up an article for publication.

The top two images are from a short trip to Xanten I made with my dad a while ago.

All my best,

Luka

I have been reading a lot since the Dutch summer weather is quite autumny with all the rain that has been falling. I have finished Ursula K Le Guin's The Word for World is Forest recently. It was my second time reading it and it was as great as I remember. I hope to look into the focalisation in relation to language and translation!

Currently I am reading Natives by Akala, a second time reading that one as well.

The last few days I have shifted over to a study of language and deconstruction, I have finally finished my readings of Derrida as well. From there I moved to postcolonial theory, which is one of my huge special interests.

If anyone would be interested in talking about literary theory, feel free to contact me!

Recently I have been reading into Biopower and Biopolitics which finds its origins in Foucault. Agamben's "Homo Sacer" has been extremely interesting, especially because I wish to do some more research in Disability Studies. I am looking forward to reading Lennard J Davis.

Good morning everyone!

This week was so far a week of reading for my courses. I managed to get through Dubliners by James Joyce, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as well as Hard Times by Charles Dickens. I must say I adored Joyce and Austen was less bad than I thought it was going to be! Now I only have To the Lighthouse left by Virginia Woolf for this week!
