separate
Use when targeting Comparative Literature or deciding whether a cross-national, cross-linguistic, translation, or world-literature manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's comparatist fit, the cross-linguistic argument bar, original-language and translation expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
When to use
- cross-linguistic, translation, or world-literature essay fit check
- re-framing single-tradition readings so comparison is constitutive
- choosing between Comparative Literature and national-literature or theory-led venues
- comparison across two or more literatures or languages
- translation studies and the theory and history of translation
- reception, circulation, and the cross-border life of texts
- world literature concepts, methods, and politics of canon
- comparative poetics, genre, and form across traditions
When not to use
- single-language reading with a token foreign comparison
- thematic juxtaposition with no comparatist payoff
- replacing the journal's current submission guidelines
