| Abstract: |
In this chapter section, we begin by clarifying the traditional terms of Comparative Literature—analogy, imitation, and influence—before turning our focus to the key concept of reception. Comparative Literature draws significantly from Reception Theory (Hans-Robert Jauss), adapting its core elements to serve its own aims and thereby creating a dynamic model of comparison that highlights the dialogical relationship between texts. The various types of reception will be presented, with particular emphasis placed on productive reception. As an illustrative case, we examine the reception of works from Greek classical literature centered on the figure of Electra in selected 20th-century texts, specifically: Electra (Hugo von Hofmannsthal), Mourning Becomes Electra (Eugene O’Neill), Electra (Jean Giraudoux), The Flies (Jean-Paul Sartre), and Electra (Gerhart Hauptmann). The aim is to demonstrate the different modes of reception and to compare them with one another.
