Abstract

In a globalizing world, there are many boundaries among many nations. There
are dominant cultures and their languages over the minor languages and nations.
Comparative literature tries to break the walls among nations. It takes
consideration every works of literature whether it is major or minor. While
comparing a work of literature of a nation, we also take into consideration its
culture and history. Since a word has different connotations for different
cultures, translation studies become important for comparative literature. In fact,
there are many theories and studies that have effects on comparative literature.
In this article, the relationship between comparative literature and translation
studies will be examined.
