and what precisely is meant by it &#8212; is a current debate in Comparative Literature Studies.\u00a0 Simon Fraser University recently initiated a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fass.sfu.ca\/programs\/world_literature\" target=\"_blank\">World Literature Program<\/a>.&#8221;\u00a0 And yet the University of Toronto now suggests that it is time to shut down its famous Centre for Comparative Literature just as other universities are beginning to re-conceive and re-imagine the possibilities of comparative literature.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, some of the most important books in literary theory were written, in part, at the Centre for Comparative Literature: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paul_Ric%C5%93ur\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Ricoeur<\/a>\u2019s <em>Time and Narrative<\/em>; <em>The Political Unconscious<\/em> by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fredric_Jameson\" target=\"_blank\">Fredric Jameson<\/a> (the first Frye Professor); <em>Culture and Imperialism<\/em> by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edward_W._Said\" target=\"_blank\">Edward Said<\/a>.\u00a0 The full list of scholars who have been Frye Professors is impressive.\u00a0 And, I should point out, many Frygians have also held the post, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alvin_A._Lee\" target=\"_blank\">Alvin Lee<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jonathan_Hart\" target=\"_blank\">Jonathan Hart<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, the Centre will welcome <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/298063.Carol_Mavor\" target=\"_blank\">Carol Mavor<\/a> as the Northrop Frye Professor.\u00a0 She will be at the Centre for about two weeks and her visit will conclude with the annual graduate student conference, which has become, in many respects, one of the (if not the) most important comparative literature conferences in Canada.\u00a0 This year, the theme of the conference will be &#8220;I<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chass.utoronto.ca\/complitstudents\/complitconference\/Iconoclasm\/Home.html\" target=\"_blank\">conoclasm: the Breaking and Making of Images<\/a>&#8220;.\u00a0 The theme of iconicity could not be more relevant than right now, especially after the <a href=\"http:\/\/fryeblog.blog.lib.mcmaster.ca\/2010\/07\/13\/centre-for-comparative-literature-update\/\" target=\"_blank\">image of Northrop Frye<\/a> this past week appeared on the front page of the <em>Globe and Mail<\/em>.\u00a0 Indeed, even David Naylor recognised this in his <a href=\"http:\/\/savecomplit.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/jonathan-allan-on-behalf-of-conference.html\" target=\"_blank\">response to my letter<\/a> on behalf of the conference committee.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, the Centre has already confirmed that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Franco_Moretti\" target=\"_blank\">Franco Moretti<\/a> will teach a seminar in the 2011-2012 academic session; and in the 2012-2013 session, we will welcome <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Judith_Butler\" target=\"_blank\">Judith Butler<\/a> as Northrop Frye Professor in Literary Theory.\u00a0 As you can see, I hope, the Centre has, through the Northrop Frye Professorship in Literary Theory, managed to invite some of the most exciting theorists of literature who constantly challenge, in <a href=\"http:\/\/chronicle.com\/article\/U-of-Toronto-Plans-to-Shut-a\/66278\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dean Gertler\u2019s words<\/a>, \u201cwhat was revolutionary or radical in the 60s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The proposed disestablishment of the Centre for Comparative Literature puts the position of Northrop Frye Professor in Literary Theory in significant doubt.\u00a0 Many of those who have accepted the invitation have explicitly done so because of the name attached to it.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piero_Boitani\" target=\"_blank\">Piero Boitani<\/a>, for instance, writes in <a href=\"http:\/\/savecomplit.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/piero-boitani-universita-di-roma.html\" target=\"_blank\">his letter to President Naylor<\/a>: \u201cI have the honour of having been Northrop Frye Professor at the Centre in 2006 (and of having met Northrop Frye during a conference devoted to him at this University), and must confess my astonishment at this announcement.\u201d\u00a0 Likewise, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_Phelan_%28literary_scholar%29\" target=\"_blank\">James Phelan<\/a> in his letter<a href=\"http:\/\/savecomplit.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/james-phelan-ohio-state-university.html\" target=\"_blank\"> says<\/a>: \u201cI am writing as a former Northrop Frye Visiting Professor at UT\u2019s Centre for Comparative Literature to urge you to reconsider the plan to close the Centre in 2011. [\u2026] The Centre for Comparative Literature has long been a jewel in the lustrous crown of UT, because of the quality and diversity of both its faculty and its students. The reputation of the Centre\u2014and its connection to Northrop Frye, a giant in the field of literary studies\u2014made me feel deeply honored by the invitation to serve as a Visiting Professor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The loss of the Northrop Frye Professorship in Literary Theory is significant, and for Dean Gertler not to take this into consideration is distressing if not irresponsible.\u00a0 Thanks to this Professorship, students at the University of Toronto have had the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from some of the most significant figures in Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, and Literary Theory.\u00a0 This is yet another loss that the Dean of Arts and Sciences has failed to consider in his plan to \u201cdisestablish\u201d Northrop Frye\u2019s Centre for Comparative Literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre for Comparative Literature has for three decades invited a professor of international reputation to come to the Centre and deliver a series of lectures, a seminar course, a pro-seminar, and so on, as the Northrop Frye Professor of Literary Theory.\u00a0 The professorship is a visiting position and in recent years, at least since [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-centre-for-comparative-literature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
