This paper tries to relook at the Research Methodology Triad of Comparative Literature; which conventionally acknowledges and approves Genology, Thematology and Historiography as the three pillars of Comparative Literature Methodology. Thematology, or “theme studies” is one of the most important analytics in situating literature in a comparative milieu. The basic premise of analysis between texts, cultures and their mutual interjections often brings a scholar back to the question of revisiting the term itself. Has “Thematology” itself evolved as a category, over the years? In what ways have Thematology changed from the way it was conceived in the earlier years? This paper tries to look at the basic tenets of “Thematology” through the lens of its own trajectory.
