世界文学谱系研究:一种阐释性建构

Studies of Genealogy of World Literature:A Hermeneutic Construction of Literary Genealogy

任何形式的世界文学谱系实际上都是一种阐释性建构。这就意味着任何一种有关世界文学的理念或看法都不具有先天的真理性,它不过是研究者立足于某一价值立场而做出的一种阐释。基于这一认识,文章提出,世界文学的谱系是存在的。而且,这种存在是一种多“源点性”的存在,即根据世界文学发生的不同“源点”的设定,可以构建出不同的世界文学谱系。因此,从这个角度说,偶然性和变异性是世界文学谱系的两大特征。

Any form of genealogy of world literature is actually a hermeneutic construction,which indicates that any notion of world literature is not inherently true.As a matter of fact,it is just a kind of interpretation made by scholars based on a certain value position.Thus,the present paper puts forward an idea that a certain genealogy of world literature does exist but is of multisource.In the other words,different genealogy of world literature can be constructed based on different“source point”.In this sense,contingency and variability are the two major characteristics of the world literature genealogy.
