作为世界文学研究的美国华裔英语文学批评

Chinese American Literary Criticism as World Literary Studies

自20世纪60年代美国华裔英语文学批评在美国民权运动语境下兴起以来,中美两国学者的批评研究集中呈现出一种"国家/族裔"视角与"世界"想象之间的矛盾。21世纪以来西方学界对"世界文学"问题的重新思考以及由此渐成气候的世界文学理论在一定程度上可以作为启发美华英语文学批评的新资源借鉴,从而使得美华英语文学的世界性文化潜质得以更加充分发挥,并由此解决国族与世界两种话语逻辑的混乱。

Since Chinese American Literary Studies arose in the context of American Civil Rights Move- ment in the 1960s, the research from both Chinese and American scholars has presented the particular con- tradiction between ＂national perspective＂ and＂world imagination＇.The rethinking of world literary topics and construction of world literary theories in Western comparative literary academia in the twenty--first century could serve as the new repository of enlightening Chinese American literary studies, which are in favor of the fulfillment of world cultural potential embodied in Chinese American literature and overcoming the logical confusion of national and world discourses manifested by Chinese American literary criticism.
