РусскийThe Scientific and Didactic Center for World and Comparative Literature is one of the subdivisions of the Faculty of Letters at Moldova State University. During its institutional history the Center underwent several stages of administrative reorganization. The nowadays Center was created on the basis of the former Chair of World Literature, which was founded on the 30th of May, 1969 as a part of the Faculty of Philology. In 1993 the Chair of World Literature was transferred to the Faculty of Foreign Languages, which later is known as the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures. The strategical reform enabled the administration to invite teaching staff in the field of English, German, French, Spanish and Italian philology to the Chair, thus leading to a narrower specialization and the possibility to provide courses in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian the literatures of those countries. From 2014, the World Literature Chair changed its institutional status into Department, obtaining the title of World and Comparative Literature. The fusion of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures and the Faculty of Letters in 2019 resulted in the transformation of the World and Comparative Department into the Scientific and Didactic Center for World and Comparative Literature. The teaching staff of the Scientific and Didactic Center for World and Comparative Literature is made up of 8 professors: Sergiu Pavlicenco, PhD, University Professor, Tatiana Ciocoi, PhD, Associate Professor, Emilia Taraburca, PhD, Associate Professor, Natalia Sporîș, PhD, Associate Professor, Cristina Grossu-Chiriac, PhD, Associate Professor, VeaceslavFilimon, MA, Assistant Lecturer, Cristina Babin-Bosîi, MA, Assistant Lecturer, Ana Gheorghiță, MA, Assistant Lecturer. In the periods 2011-2016 and 2018 – to the present day the Department is presided by Tatiana Ciocoi, PhD, Associate Professor as the Head of the Scientific and Didactic Center for World and Comparative Literature.
As a subdivision of the Faculty of Letters the Scientific and Didactic Center for World and Comparative Literature provides study programs for the specialty departments of the cycle I – BA, and cycle II – MA. The fundamental courses of World Literature are lectured in Romanian and Russian, depending on the degree specialization and the courses of the European Literatures (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian) are taught in the corresponding language.
