MA in Comparative Literature or Lettres modernes

The integrated master s program Comparative Literature / Lettres modernes of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Universit de Bourgogne, France, focuses on the similarities of literary texts across and independent from national boundaries. These may include historical contacts between different literatures but also common typological features which connect different literatures, regardless of concrete points of contact. In the age of globalization, not only economies and politics are subject to change processes; the complex field of culture is marked by more and more connections and relations so that the discipline of comparative literature takes on a new relevance.
