Summary/Abstract: Comparative literature as an academic, open, dynamic and dialogical discipline has always followed current developments and innovations in science and culture. Hypertext and multimedia projects in today’s digital age succeed, perhaps for the first time, to capture the character of comparative literature’s approach, which by nature are the most comprehensive literary studies. Transcendental, interdisciplinary, intermedia and intercultural character – immanent determinant of the nature of comparative literature, its cosmopolitan attitude and world view, correspond with the powerful virtually limitless electronic network covering multiple disciplines and connecting multiple media. At present digital age, Goethe’s concept of “world literature” has become a reality. From 2005 there is a Board for comparative literature in digital age as a part of the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA/AILC). Macedonian comparative literature is not lagging behind the latest trends in the world in this domain.
