论比较文艺学的学科发展

比较文艺学迄今仍是一门年轻的学科。其产生既是比较文学理论化的结果,也是现代文艺学走向比较研究的结果。在不长的发展历程中,比较文艺学已取得丰硕的学术成果。在西方学界,比较文艺学的研究视域基本局限于欧美文化圈内部。中国学者则主张打破东西方文化的界限,谋求中西文艺理论、乃至东西方文艺理论之间的对话。比较文艺学有助于探寻不同文论体系之间的一致性和可沟通性,也有助于彰显不同文论体系的各自特色,因而具有巨大的学术价值和发展潜力。在未来的发展中,比较文艺学将不断拓展研究视域,逐渐走向世界范围内各种文论之间的真正平等和对话,其自身的理论建设也将更加完善和成熟。它在未来的文化交流中也将发挥越来越重要的作用。

Discussion on Disciplinary Development of Comparative Poetics

As a new area of research, comparative poetics results not only from theorization in comparative literature but from the development of modern poetics towards comparative study as well. A lot has been achieved within the short time since its advent. In the academic circles in the west, comparative poetics is only focused on the occidental culture. In contrast, Chinese scholars propose that the barriers between oriental and occidental cultures be broken down, and that the dialogue between Chinese and western poetics, or even between oriental and occidental poetics, be carried out in an attempt to find out similarities and affinities between the two literary theoretical systems and ultimately to highlight the uniqueness of each system. In this respect, comparative poetics may be of great help. The scope of comparative poetics will be continuously broadened in order to provide the platform of dialog between various poetic systems. In this process, its theoretical construction can be carried out so that it will play an increasingly more important role in intercultural communication in the future.
