The point of departure is the observation that, in the 60s and 70s, a number of academics were convinced that the discipline of comparative literature should be organized around a sociological model. The tendency to consider literary sociology as the «pilot discipline» in comparative literature persisted until the early 80s. However, the earlier sociological models gradually lost much of their historical-materialist aura and began to take the shape of less stringent context-analyses. The newer forms of literary sociology often entered into an alliance with semiotics and (post)structuralism or elaborated upon Mikhail Bakhtin. Alongside this development, there was a tendency within literary sociology to adopt empirical methods. Moreover, contemporary literary theory has also witnessed the rise of new avenues of research that reflect the older literary-sociological principles.
At the origin of texts in this volume is the eponymous conference organized by the Belgian Association of General and Comparative Literature in Ghent (April 6-7, 2000).
