比较“西方”和“其他地区”:超越欧洲中心主义?

Comparing"West"and"Rest":Beyond Eurocentrism?

史书美、周蕾和克里希纳斯瓦米从不同角度批判了比较文学固有的欧洲中心主义,因为对非欧洲/西方文学的比较研究仍然沿袭着欧洲/西方范式。本文将简要概述他们各自的立场,并论证在过去几十年至少已出现一些超越欧洲中心主义的尝试。

From different perspectives,Shu-mei Shih,Rey Chow,and Revathi Krishnaswamy have accused Comparative Literature of being inherently Eurocentric in that the comparative study of non-European/Western literatures continues being steered by European/Western paradigms.In what follows I briefly outline their respective positions,and argue that over the past few decades at least some attempts have been made to move beyond Eurocentrism.
