Comparing "Comparative literature"

What is comparative literature? Is it literature? Does it form a discipline? Are there differences in comparative literature among nations and peoples?

This workshop will include not only literature and art, but also psychology, sociology, ethnology, statistics, and economics. In addition, we will cover not only Japan, Germany, and France, but also the Islamic countries, Africa, and America, aiming to develop a field that is not bound by the term or tradition of "comparative literature."
