Duke’s interdisciplinary Literature Ph.D. dismantles boundaries between texts, theory, and media. Students juxtapose Derrida with deep-fakes, translate Caribbean graphic novels with AR overlays, and deploy network theory to map world-literature circulation. The program’s Critical Code Studies lab equips scholars to read algorithms as cultural texts, while global residencies partner with publishers and NGOs to convert scholarship into multilingual public resources.
