从史诗作品透视草原文明与海洋文明的审美建构

ON THE AESTHETIC STRUCTURE OF GRASSLAND AND OCEAN CIVILIZATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EPICS

史诗是人类文明的外化,它以独特的方式记录下了历史的发展和文学主题的演变。尽管不同国家和地区各有自己的史诗创作,但在史诗的发生与发展、内容与风格、情节与母题上却存在着很多既趋同又相异的特征。对于希腊和蒙古两种不同文化类型的史诗作品进行审美关照下的比较性研究,有助于揭示东西方文化审美趣味和审美追求的同质与异质,并在跨文化视野中使史诗研究向纵深发展。

An epic is the externalization of human civilization and it records the historical development and the change of literary theme in its peculiar style. Though different countries and areas have their own epics, there are similar or different traits in development, contents, styles, plots and theme. A comparative aesthetic study about epics of Greek and Mongolian origins will be of help to the revelation of the similarities and differences of the Western and Eastern aesthetic taste and pursuit as well as the further development of epic study in the cross-cultural perspective.
