Student Research Seminar in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature

Student Research Seminar in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature


With the goal of fostering academic debate among graduate students and presenting their research to a wider audience, the Graduate Program in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature holds an annual Student Research Seminar, organized by a committee of students and a professor from the Program. In addition to fostering greater interaction within the program, the various editions of this event have shown that dialogue between participants and the public, as well as mediation by guest speakers, can contribute significantly to the development of the research.

The structure of the seminar has remained mainly the same, although it is subject to change when necessary. A theme, a work or an intellectual is chosen to be celebrated at the opening and closing of the event, which is honored through lectures by guest writers or professors. Professors of recognized literary merit also give lectures during the event. Graduate students and alumni of the Program present their research in thematic panels, composed of three or four members, and conclude with a commentary by a debater. In 2024, a discussion group with our alumni was also created so that they could share their experiences after their time in the program. In the same year, the seminar launched its first international edition with two foreign guests.

To participate, students or alumni of the Program simply need to register online. The abstracts submitted during the registration process are posted in advance on the Department's website for public access.
