西部文学研究的历史维度及其可能性

Historical Dimension of the Study of Western Literature in China and its Feasibility

西部文学在中国文学版图中具有十分重要的作用,其多样性与丰富性使中国文学的形态更加完善,占据着世界文学版图不容忽视的位置。空间理论和文学地理学在西部文学研究中的运用,在方法论上为西部文学研究提供了理论支持。西部文学既是一个现实的存在,也是一个历史的存在。将西部文学放在世界文学的大视野进行考察,仅是藏族、蒙古族、柯尔克孜族的三大史诗就极大地提升和丰富了汉民族和汉语文学的艺术表现空间和文化审美空间,因此,只有从历史和现实双重维度展开西部文学研究,才能对西部文学进行整体把握和全面关照。

Western literature has occupied an important position in the Chinese literature territory,its variety and richness has also perfected the form of Chinese literature,taking up an indispensable position in the world literature territory. The application of the spatial theory and literary geography into the study of western literature in China has provided theoretical support for its study. The western literature in China does not exist in reality,but also in history. If the western literature in China is studied from the perspective of the world literature,the three great epics of the Tibetan nationality,the Mongol nationality,and the Khalkhas nationality will promote and enrich the space for artistic expression and the cultural aesthetic space of the Han nationality and Chinese literature. Only when we explore the study of western literature in China from the historical and realistic dimensions,can we have an overall picture of the western literature in China.
