The International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) (French: Association Internationale de Littérature Comparée—AILC) is an international organization for international research in comparative literature.
Founded in 1954, ICLA promotes the study of literature from an international point of view. It organizes international congresses every three years.
History
ICLA was founded in Oxford, UK in 1954 in connection with the 6th Congress of the International Federation for Modern Languages and Literatures (FILLM).{{Cite journal|last=Gillespie|first=Gerard|date=2003|title=The International Comparative Literatures Association (AILC/ICLA): Association Internationale de Littérature Comparéé|journal=Diogenes|volume=50|issue=2|page=117|doi=10.1177/039219210305000211|s2cid=148289034}}
