Abstract
The author of the article attempts to present the situation of comparative
studies as a field of research and a way of thinking about the contemporary world on the basis of the analyses
presented in Comparative Literature at a Crossroads? in the monographic issue of “Comparative Studies” 2006.
Much attention is paid to the phenomenon of the crisis of comparative studies connected with a noticeable
reluctance towards great theoretical models shared by many researchers, the extensiveness of the topic area and
resulting methodological problems but also the fact that comparatists abandon the studies of other languages.
This results in a need of searching for a satisfactory definition of this field of study, its scope of research and
applicable research methods. Among the specific issues raised in the article there is, e.g. the case of world
literature seen in the context of the classical contradiction between cultural hegemony and cultural pluralism.
Moreover, an interesting review of the picture of the Polish culture from the perspective of postcolonial theories
and intracultural differences is presented.
