Objavlja izvirne in pregledne znanstvene članke ter tematske sklope s področij primerjalne književnosti, literarne teorije, metodologije literarne vede, literarne estetike in drugih strok, ki obravnavajo literaturo in njene kontekste. Občasno objavlja še recenzije, intervjuje in druge prispevke. Zaželeni so meddisciplinarni pristopi. Revija objavlja posamezne razprave v slovenščini ali angleščini.

Nenaročene članke v angleščini sprejema v recenzentski postopek le, če primerjalno obravnavajo slovensko literaturo.
