主题学与民间文学研究相得益彰

The Complementation of Themism and Folk Literature Studies

主题学研究同一主题、母题、题材、情境等在不同民族、国家文学中的流传与表现。这种方法来源于民间文学的比较研究,并且民间文学中同一主题、题材等的大量异文为主题学研究提供了资料上的保证。同时,跨民族、跨文化、跨学科的主题学理论也是民间文学研究的指南之一。二者是相得益彰、相互促进的。

Themism studies the circulation and representation of the same theme,mother theme,subject,context,etc in the literature of different nationalities and countries.This method comes from the comparative studies of folk literature,and the large quantities of variant texts in folk literature of the same theme and subject offer the guarantee of materials.At the same time,cross-national,cross-cultural,and inter-disciplinary thematic theories are also one of the guides of folk literature research.The two complement and promote each other.
