新世界文学和数字时代的比较文学——被忽视的2017美国比较文学学科“海斯报告”

New World Literature and Comparative Literature in the DigitalAge:The Neglected“Heise Report”of the 2017 American Comparative Literature Association

2017年出版的美国比较文学学科报告未能如前四份一样引起学界的重视,国内外学界少有引用,相关研究更是寥寥无几。诚然,报告呈现的广阔视角、相对庞杂的论题和兴盛已久的生态视角未能如标题所示,为比较文学的未来提供一个清晰可视的方向。但作为新数字时代的学科报告,“海斯报告”集稿方式的网络化、呈现方式的多样性、对数字人文的关注、对世界文学的探讨显示了以其为代表的比较文学研究新范式的转变,其贡献正在于对比较文学所做出的重新构想,在学科间达成平衡、民族间进行对话,对生态环境和新兴技术予以关注,为新时代的比较文学研究提供了有效参考。

The American Comparative Literature Association State of the Discipline Report published in 2017 failed to attract the attention of the academic community as much as the previous four reports,with few citations to domestic and foreign academic papers,and even fewer research articles.The broad perspectives,relatively complex topics,and long-flourishing ecological perspective presented in the report fail to provide a clear and visible direction for the future of comparative literature,as the title suggests.However,as a discipline report in the new digital era,the networking way of the contribution,the diversity of presentation modes,the attention to digital humanities,and the discussion of world literature in this report show the transformation of the paradigm of comparative literature research.Its contribution lies in reconceiving comparative literature,achieving a balance between disciplines,conducting dialogue between nationalities,and paying attention to the environment and emerging technologies,which provides an effective reference for the study of comparative literature in the newera.
