In this study, four concepts have been investigated to explain Komparatistik's power of influence; literature, comparative literature, national literatures, and world literatures. To this end, another issue that causes frequent misperceptions has been investigated; the act of comparison constituting one of the basic elements of OOKomparatistik is not the main objective but a starting point for reaching knowledge and supporting analytical thinking. With the help of other disciplines, genetic and typological comparisons make the text-based studies more suitable for human perception. The ignorance of these opportunities provided by Komparatistik may have a negative impact on National Literatures and cultural developments.tr10.21497/sefad.443172info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKomparatistikcomparative literaturegeneral literaturenational literatureworld literatureArticle39126#YOKWOS:000440205100001N/A
