In the last few decades, comparative literature has spread even to those parts of the world that it had not reached before. However, at the same time it has faced a crisis in its traditional centers across Europe and North America, which has shaken its conceptual premises, theoretical foundations, and methodological structure, affected its inclusion in university and scholarly institutions, and jeopardized its social status. The discipline responded to this fundamental change through increased self-awareness and a true flourishing of relevant production directed towards fundamental reflections on its identity, the current situation, its genesis, and possible future paths.

Monografski zbornik s prispevki 14 slovenskih in 10 tujih avtorjev analizira opus Antona Ocvirka, utemeljitelja primerjalne književnosti na Slovenskem, in ga postavlja v kontekst razvoja stroke doma in na tujem. Drugo problemsko težišče knjige je današnje stanje stroke po svetu, ki ga opredeljujejo prevrati v humanističnih vedah ter spremenljiva vloga literature v procesih globalizacije. Podrobneje so obravnavani problemi literarnega zgodovinopisja ter razmerja med primerjalno književnostjo in sorodnimi ali konkurenčnimi disciplinami. V današnji krizi primerjalne književnosti se kažejo možnosti za njeno prenavljanje in napovedujejo nove razvojne perspektive.
