区域国别研究的文化视角——以语言文学中的“神话研究”为例

Cultural Perspectives in Area and Country Studies—A Case Study of“Mythology Research”in Language and Literature

从区域国别研究中的文化视角出发,语言文学研究在区域国别研究中有独特的价值和贡献。论文以语言和文学中的神话因子为例,阐释如何通过神话来研究不同国家或地区的发展轨迹、社会结构和精神面貌等与“国民性”息息相关的要素。且在此基础上提出:需高度重视中国多模态神话在海外传播中输出的叙事理念、结构模式和文化原型。论文通过使用包括分析人类学、心理学和结构主义在内的多维方法,指出语言文学研究者开展区域国别研究中具有文本细读能力、跨文化比较视角等独特优势,因此应当对自身的学科方法论怀有充分的学术自信。通过持续提升自身的研究视野,高度重视国家的全球利益诉求,以此为出发点所开展的语言、文学、翻译以及文化研究,或应直接被纳入“区域国别研究”的范畴之内,或成为广义上的国际问题的研究基础。

This paper discusses the unique value and contribution of language and literature research within the cultural perspective of area and country studies.It uses the study of mythology in language and literature as an example to explain how mythology can be employed to research the development trajectories,social structures,and spiritual characteristics related to the“national character”of various countries or regions.The paper emphasizes the importance of giving due attention to the narrative concepts,structural patterns,and cultural archetypes of Chinese multimodal mythology in its overseas dissemination.Additionally,by analyzing multidimensional methods including anthropology,psychology,and structuralism,the paper highlights the unique advantages of language and literature researchers in area and country studies,such as their ability to closely read texts and their cross-cultural comparative perspectives.It advocates for academic confidence in their methodological approach.The paper suggests that ongoing efforts to enhance research perspectives,focusing on a nations overseas interests,should directly fall within the scope of area and country studies,or form the basis for the broader study of international issues.
