The lecture series “Vasos Comunicantes” aims to present different research themes in Comparative Literature and/or adjacent fields, from the sharing of reflected testimonies about the whole process of comparative work and its respective contributions to the interlinguistic, intercultural, and interartistic knowledge of the literary phenomenon.

The goal is also to foster dialogue among specialists, senior researchers, post-graduate students, and other interested publics, in order to accompany issues and axial perspectives of the evolution of Comparative Literature itself as a scientific area.
