Abstract

The article reflects on the relevance of studies about literature and twentieth century historical catastrophes for Comparative Literature, particularly in regard to testimonial literature of concentration camps and exile. The article explores antecedents in disciplines such as Literature and History and Literature of Exile. It also proposes to approach testimonial literature from two comparative perspectives that enrich the analysis of texts: interdisciplinarity and transversality.
