Approaches to Comparative Literature and Inter-American dialogues: a tribute to Renata R. Mautner Wasserman

Professor Renata R. Mautner Wasserman’s work on Comparative Literature and Inter-American Studies, her intellectual generosity, and her commitment to outstanding scholarship have inspired the guest editors of this thematic issue on Comparative Literature. Besides serving as the International Editor of Ilha do Desterro for more than a decade, Professor Wasserman has been not only our partner in many other professional activities, but also a friend and a generous intellectual to her colleagues and students. After receiving the title of Professor Emeritus, she is now retired from Wayne State University (WSU), MI, EUA, where she taught Comparative Literature and Literatures in English in the Department of English and advised a number of graduate students in their Graduate Program in English. She has also co-advised graduate students in Curso de Pós-Graduação
