批判理论、比较文学及理论对话——齐马访谈录

Critical Theory,Comparative Literature,and Dialogue between Theories:Interview with Peter V.Zima

作为德语世界批判理论、社会学美学和比较文学最雄辩的声音之一,彼得·齐马自37岁起任克拉根福大学比较文学讲座教授,他所领导的奥地利克拉根福大学比较文学研究理论视野开阔、不拘一格。齐马教授在反思比较文学美国学派及法国学派的方法、经验的基础上,致力于建构现代比较文学的“德国模式”。在本次采访中,齐马教授分享了他对批判理论、社会学美学、比较文学等领域的看法,解释了自己如何试图通过赋予批评理论和世界文学以社会符号学基础,实现对它们的重建。他还将阿多诺和布迪厄并置于文学市场的共同语境中,展示了他在不同理论间进行对话的尝试。

As one of the most eloquent voices on critical theory,sociological aesthetics,and comparative literature in the German-speaking world,Peter V.Zima shared in this interview his idea about these fields.He explained how he has tried to reconstruct both critical theory and world literature by giving them a sociosemiotic basis.More interestingly,he demonstrated his attempt at a dialogue between theories by juxtaposing Adorno and Bourdieu in the common context of the literary market.
