比较文学与世界文学的学科命意及发展趋向

中国比较文学研究作为学科建立的时候,在一定程度上忽视了比较文学的根本命意及其应当为文学研究带来的整体启发.这样,一方面是具体的比较文学研究实践趋于萎缩,另一方面,勃洛克式的开放态度又引起中国学者对比较文学何以成为独立学科的担忧,甚至造成了比较文学和世界文学往往成为两个互不相干,甚至互相拆解的部分.事实上,在汉语的语境和理解结构中为世界文学定位,已经意味着一切外国文学研究都必然以比较的观念为前提.比较文学与世界文学之所以可能成为学科重构的典型,正在于传统的学科分野已经无法限定它的论题范围和研究领域.而这一点,与当代学术的人文精神、消解学科的文化研究是完全一致的.

The Discipline Meaning and Trend of Comparative Literature and World Literature

When Chinese comparative literature was established as a discipline,to some extent it ignored the fundamental meaning of comparative literature and its overall inspiration brought to literary studies.As a result,the specific comparative literature research comes to shrink,and on the other hand,the open-minded Blok-style aroused worries among Chinese scholars that how could comparative literature to be an independent discipline.It has gone so far that comparative literature and world literature become two separated or even mutually dismantling parts.In fact,in Chinese context and cognitive structure of world literature,it embodies that the foreign literature studies must take comparison as its hypothesis.The reason why comparative literature and world literature could probably become typical academic reconstruction is that the traditional distinction between subjects has been unable to limit its topic scopes and research areas.And this is entirely consistent with the contemporary spirit of academic humanities,and the cultural study of discipline destruction.
