World literature was traditionally defined as European masterpieces but now includes a broader global perspective. The book What Is World Literature? by David Damrosch examines how the definition and understanding of world literature has changed as works circulate between cultures and languages. Damrosch argues that world literature includes works that gain new meaning and popularity through translation. The concept of world literature has evolved over time from referring mainly to European works to encompassing literature from all time periods and cultures that reaches a global audience.
This document discusses literature, including its definitions, types, genres, and examples. Literature can be defined generally as anything written, but more specifically as writing that expresses feelings and attitudes about life. There are two main kinds - fictional literature based on imagination, and non-fictional literature providing factual information. Common genres include fiction, essays, poetry, and drama. Famous literary works mentioned span various genres and cultures, from ancient epics to modern novels. Recommended books are also provided for further studying literature.
The document defines literature as any written or published work that holds interest, gives pleasure, and has structure and form. It can be fictional or non-fictional, and fall under genres such as tragedy or comedy. Literature demonstrates mastery of elements like plot, theme, and characterization. Great works of literature are thought-provoking, teach lessons about culture and life, and provide insight into the human condition.
The document describes two literary projects connecting students in Tacoma, Washington and Nantes, France.
The Tempest project involves students from both countries analyzing and responding to William Shakespeare's play The Tempest through blog posts, poetry, scene staging videos, and a podcast.
The ARC project is a trimester-long study of an American author where students from each school research the life and works of the same author. Students will read and analyze the author's works, write essays, and present their findings to their class. They will also discuss selected works between the two schools through an online blog.

Comparative Literature: A Critical Introduction by Susan Bassnett
The document discusses the evolving field of comparative literature. It defines comparative literature as the interdisciplinary study of literature across cultures, concerned with connections between texts over time and space. New critical theories like translation studies, gender studies, and postcolonialism have impacted the approach of comparatists. While comparative literature was once dominated by Eurocentric perspectives focusing on universalism, postcolonial scholars turned to assertions of national and cultural identity. Today, comparative literature grapples with defining its objectives and methods as cultural globalization challenges traditional boundaries. Translation studies, as a related but growing field, examines how translation shapes cultural change and is important for understanding periods of cultural upheaval
This document discusses four key themes in Amitav Ghosh's novel 'Gun Island': 1) The historification of myth and mythification of history, 2) Climate change, 3) Human migration and refugee crises, and 4) Etymology and etymological mysteries.

Introduction what is comparative literature today -JigneshPanchasara
Susan Bassnett provides a critical introduction to comparative literature. She argues that there is no single agreed upon definition or method of studying comparative literature. Different scholars have defined it in various ways. Generally, comparative literature involves studying literature across different cultures and languages expressed throughout literary history. Bassnett asserts that comparative literature cannot be confined within set boundaries and is a dynamic field influenced by cultural shifts over time.
Literature is important in everyday life because it connects individuals with larger truths and ideas in a society. It allows people to record their thoughts and experiences in a way that is accessible to others through fictional accounts. Literature affects people by teaching them, entertaining them, and inspiring them to take action. It also helps people understand different perspectives and walks of life. Reading literature has many benefits, including pleasure, building experience by exposing readers to different cultures and time periods, increasing empathy, and developing critical thinking skills.
Comparative Literature emerged as a term in the mid-19th century, originally used to describe comparative analyses of different national literatures. It was first used by Matthew Arnold in 1848 to refer to the comparative survey of poetry between different nations. The term became more popularized in France and was used to establish the field as one focused on the "binary relations" between two or more literatures, distinguished from the more general study of literature. Some key debates around Comparative Literature include its purpose and whether it should include the study of folklore and other non-literary works. Seminal works that helped establish it as a discipline include Wellek and Warren's "Theory of Literature" and works by Harry Levin,

This document outlines a presentation about building a diverse classroom library. It discusses the importance of including books that serve as mirrors, windows, and doors for students. Mirrors allow students to see themselves reflected in literature. Windows allow students to view others' lives and experiences. Doors allow interaction and access into new worlds. The presentation provides resources for finding diverse books and strategies for integrating them into the classroom, such as book talks, read-alouds, and mini-lessons using excerpts. Teachers are given surveys to evaluate their current libraries and measure the impact of implementing diverse literature. The goal is for students to have access to literature representing various identities and experiences.
This document provides information about a book discussion group aimed at engaging African American, Latino, and American Indian youth. It discusses the selected books, which feature diverse characters and challenge traditional fantasy norms. The book club will take place at a library and recruit students through school visits, summer programs, and other outreach. The six books chosen provide entry points for new readers and increasingly complex plots, covering themes of cultural diversity and representation in literature.
This document summarizes research on the relationship between gender and reading. It finds that while research shows few meaningful differences in reading abilities between boys and girls, teachers and students still view reading as a gendered activity. The study interviewed high school students and teachers and found that teachers choose texts they think will appeal more to boys, focusing more attention on reluctant male readers, and students also tend to choose same-sex protagonists. However, students' individual text preferences varied and were not strictly defined by gender. The study recommends providing more text choice and encouraging students to read across gender boundaries.

The document discusses a study on using the social networking site Edmodo to support student collaboration in a 10th grade English class. Students used Edmodo to discuss assigned readings, post questions, and respond to each other's comments. The study found that Edmodo encouraged participation from all students and facilitated thoughtful, multi-turn discussions. Using a familiar social platform helped promote a student-centered approach over a traditional teacher-centered method.

This document summarizes a research project that aimed to determine if explicitly teaching test-taking skills would improve students' abilities on tests. The researchers taught two test-taking strategies - circling key words and rephrasing test questions - to students in various classes over 3-4 weeks. Pre- and post-tests were administered to measure any effects. While some individual classes saw significant improvements, the overall results across all 256 students were not significant, showing the treatment was not clearly effective. Observations found mixed and limited use of the strategies by students. The researchers concluded the study design and data collection needed improvement to better understand any impacts.

1. Survey of World Literature A Glimpse of Cultures Around the World By Cat Holland
2. Initial Goals By the end of the course, I will be able to… develop a familiarity with texts with significant literary merit from around the world analyze and think critically about significant world literature describe ways in which texts from around the world reflect the culture and time in which they were written make literary connections with texts in the western canon.
3. Essential Questions How do world perspectives differ from Western ones? Which universal themes are present in literature across time and cultures? In what ways is literature universal? In what ways is it specific to a specific time, geographic location, or culture?
4. Products Comparative essay A guide to graphic novels “Around the World in 8 Pages” Factbook Catnotes – Study Guide to Persepolis
6. Enduring Understandings Literature across time and geographic location always contains some kind of tension (either internal, between characters, between individual desire and civic duty, etc.). Literature often has two goals: to entertain as well as inform. Conflict, identity and love are themes found in almost every text.
7. Favorite Resource The Complete Persepolis by MarjaneSatrapi This book is such a fast-paced read! I learned so much about the Iran-Iraq War and the events leading up to it. Despite the heavy subject matter, this book doesn’t drag. There’s plenty of humor to liven things up. Marjane is an outspoken and rebellious heroine.
8. Reflections I found it helpful to both design the assignments and be required to do them. This is definitely an example of student-centered learning. I would consider allowing students to take part in the design process of some of their product assessments, as I am convinced that it helps produce more thorough and interesting work.
9. What Now? I “discovered” graphic novels. I would absolutely use them in the classroom. I would like to read more of them in the future and decide which ones are developmentally appropriate for my students (and perhaps, which ones can be made available for the department). After filling this hole, I realized that my knowledge of American literature is perhaps not what it should be. I will have to read up on that in the future!
10. Ongoing Development I will be using the Making Curriculum POP ning in the future – it’s a social network for teachers. I discovered wordswithoutborders.org; this is a good source for contemporary short stories and poems from around the world and it also reviews newly published texts, as well.
