在国际语境下进行孔子学院比较研究的方法论探讨

Approaches of Comparative Studies on Confucius Institute in the International Context

在孔子学院研究这一领域,将孔子学院与其他同类机构在国际语境下进行比较研究已经取得了不少成果。此类文献可以梳理归纳为"宗旨意义""基本要素"与"日常活动"三个层次。在此基础上,本文提出未来研究在方法论上应着重把握机构发展内在规律与模式,并提出了三个方向的设想:一是从实证特征中捕捉机构发展要素之间的内在联系与规律;二是在横向比较时注意梳理机构各自的纵向发展;三是将机构的微观发展与其对当下时局的宏观意义结合起来分析。

As far as Confucius Institute studies, many researches have been done well through comparing Confucius Institute with other language and culture international promotion institutes in the global context. This paper summarizes this kind of research into three categories： ＂Purpose and Significance＂, ＂Basic Elements＂ and ＂Daily Routine＂, and proposes that the future research shall pay more attentions to the inner laws and patterns of development of LCIP institutes based on the previous work, including three approaches： first, to extract inner connections and laws out of empirical features; second, to emphasize the longitudinal development of each institute while comparing different ones; third, to integrate the micro growth of the institute with its macro significance in a greater context.
