论中外文化交往中的世界语运动

The Esperanto Movement in the Cultural Intercourse between China and Foreign Countries

在 2 0世纪中外文化交往的历史中 ,作为跨语际实践之一的世界语运动似乎被人淡忘。但作为一场历时一个多世纪的文化思潮和语言运动 ,它对中国现代思想、文化、语言和文学都曾有着特殊的影响 ,它表征了中国现代文化生成中所隐含的种种内在矛盾和紧张 ,体现了作为后发国家现代化历程中的独特历史经验 。

The Esperanto Movement, as a sort of interlingual practice, seems to have been overlooked and forgotten in the history of cultural intercourse between China and foreign countries in the 20th Century. While being a trend of thought and a language movement, it has influenced the modern Chinese thoughts, language and literature by its own way. It suggests the inner conflicts and tensions latent in the formation of modern Chinese culture, and represents the unique historical experience of modernization in a 'late-comer' country. Therefore, it bears a particular significance for modern Chinese culture.
