关于比较文学研究的“文化热”

Culture Fever" in Comparative Literature Studies

近年来,包括中国比较文学在内的国际比较文学界掀起了一股文化热潮,给比较文学学科建设带来了挑战与机遇。不少学者倡导比较文学向比较文化转向,也有一些学者予以抵制。笔者在分析比较文学“文化热”的现状和产生背景的基础上,认为比较文学学者应以全球化的视野,积极吸收文化研究中的有益成份,同时坚持比较文学自身的文学性,注重个案研究,努力具备跨语言研究的能力,以促进比较文学学科的发展。

In recent years, a culture fever has raged in international comparative literature circles, and the Chinese students have also come under its influence. Many of them propose that comparative literature should turn to comparative culture, while some others simply reject the idea. The present writer, on the basis of his analysis of the fever, maintains that students of comparative literature should have a global vision and absorb valuable findings in cultural studies so as to promote the development of comparative literature itself.
