This paper, titled (The Problematic of Comparative Literature and Its Relationship with Cultural Criticism), aims to present and explain the conceptual problematic concerns that exist between comparative literature and cultural criticism. The former is considered a pillar of literary studies, while the latter is an intellectual and critical methodology. They differ in many fundamental aspects, most notably their objectives, subjects, and points of reference. From this perspective, the paper addresses the aforementioned subjects through three main sections: The first section provides a brief overview of the essence of comparative literature, summaries its key functions, and discusses its relationship with other branches of literary studies: literary history, literary theory, and literary criticism. The second section addresses the historical and contemporary crisis facing comparative literature. The third and final section is dedicated to presenting the relationship between cultural criticism and the crisis experienced by comparative literature, especially in the current era, which is witnessing profound cultural changes in all aspects of social and political life in human societies.
