| Summary: | The present paper is comprised of two parts, a main part and a subsidiary one. The main part deals with the critical study of the development of the discipline of comparative literature in Iran from the start to the present time. The subsidiary part includes an appendix i.e., the University of Tehran's curriculum of the comparative literature in 1350s. The present paper tries to show that comparative literature has never been established and taught in a sustained and systematic manner based on the theories of comparative literature. It has been deprived of the primary necessities such as independent departments, a proper curriculum, scientific associations, professional journals and expert professors. In different periods of time, the nature and the meaning of comparative literature in Iran has been troubled with a number of misunderstandings from theoretical frameworks and methodology to a lack of familiarity with new theories and approaches. Since everywhere in the world comparative literature involves teamwork (comprised of experts in comparative literature as well as scholars of national and foreign literatures), to get rid of the present dead-end, more than providing what is essential to the discipline, experts of the comparative literature and related disciplines aught to design a curriculum with an interdisciplinary nature and teaching would not be limited to the presence of experts from one or two departments. |
