Major Activities

Activity 2

Other program expenses of the organization relate mainly to the maintenance of the ACLA website, prizes, membership in related organizations.Program activities rely heavily on the substantial volunteer efforts of officers and members, often with the in-kind support of their university departments. The expenses reported on Form 990 represent only the out-of-pocket costs paid by ACLA..ACLA expended $2,158(in 2011) and $5,000 (in 2010) for a subvention for ACL(x) which is a conference series, with the first one taking place at Penn State in fall 2011.

Activity 3

In its largest sense, comparative literature promotes the study of intercultural relations that cross national boundaries, multicultural relations within a particular society, and the interactions between literature and other forms of human activity, including the Arts, the Sciences, Philosophy, and cultural artifacts of all kinds.The members of the ACLA are joined not by a national linguistic, or methodological investment held in common, but by the shared condition of teaching and writing across nations, languages, and cultures - and hence by their lively interest in comparison as both theoretical and practical matters.The ACLA is affiliated with the American Council of Learned Societies, the Association of Departments and Programs of Comparative Literature, the International Comparative Literature Association, the Modern Language Association, and the National Humanities Alliance..
