Kantian Cosmopolitan Ideal in Disciplining the World Literature： Cosmopolitanism in Hong Kong Poetry in the Early 1990s

This article looks at how cosmopolitanism--the notion of universality within a diversity of multi-cultures---has been shaping the discipline of world literature. The article encompasses chiefly three parts. The first part offers an overview of the debates on the discipline widely discussed by literary scholars such as Franco Moretti, David Damrosch and Emily Apter. I take issue with the harmonic co-existence of both local and global elements---and what I define as ＂glocality＂---in literatures to exhibit the inevitable trend of the trans-cultural, supranational and cross-historical interactions among multiple centres and/or various cities especially in the twenty-first century. I thereby argue in the second part using Leung Ping Kwan （1949-2013）＇s ＂Images of Hong Kong＂ （1992） and Louise Ho＇s two poetry pieces written in 1994 to prove how Kantian Cosmopolitan elements have deeply embedded in the poem written in a city where the West frequently interacts with the East. I conclude by stepping in further to argue that only through tolerating and mediating between the region and the globe can world literature as a discipline find its way out without fear for marginalising any of the literary pieces.

Research on the Teaching Methods of World Literature Course from the POA Perspective

Due to the vagueness of the teaching characteristics in the world literature and in some other English courses, thefeatures of the literary courses itself that can be used effectively are also easier to be ignored. As a result, theteaching model is solidified and rigid. This paper, based on the standpoint of the POA theory, demonstrates theeffective ways in teaching the world literature courses. While using some literature works, the awareness ofidiology should be emphasied. It is essential to design and implement appropriate tasks for the students at differentstages, and put forward practical curriculum plans for the new international situation.

World Literature in Modern Times

＂New＂ Translations of Japanese Literature： Socio-cultural Impacts on the Japanese Mind

In terms of translation theory today, the essential discussions of ＂otherness＂, coupled with the agenda of bilateral approaches to its untranslatability, are much more intense than ever. The stereotypical images of Japan as something quite alien yet enchanting in Japanese literature, in The Tale of Genji for instance, are drastically different from those in modem novels, where the experience of conflicts with the West in the course of modernization could not be ignored. Shusaku Endo＇s Silence for example, paradoxically questions the translatability of Christianity in the historical context of the Japanese mind. By reading some translated texts of Japanese literature, we come to be aware of the essential factors of＂otherness＂ inherent in Japanese culture and language which, in some socio-cultural ways, has had an interesting effect on Japanese minds. With the growing interest in ＂world literature,＂ ＂otherness＂ and ＂untranslatability＂ illuminated in the translations of Japanese literature offer a new perspective with which we can re-think our sense of history of modernization on the one hand; and re-evaluate the uniqueness of Japanese language on the other. The remarkable influence of translators whose mother tongue is not Japanese, but who have an excellent command of the language, enables a new Japanese culture to emerge. This is evident in the works of Arthur Binard, an American poet and translator, who enthusiastically criticizes the Japanese policy of atomic energy in his translations of the Japanese poems after World War II, and in the very inspiring essays on Japanese by Roger Pulvers, an Australian writer and playwright who won prizes for his translations of Kenji Miyazawa. Along with such new trend of translations of Japanese literature, how it affects the Japanese mind will be discussed.

Translating Difference:Reflections on the Interface between Novelistic Discourse and World Literature

The present essay examines two moments from the evolution of the modern Malayalam novel,in relation to the reception of two classics in world literature,namely Victor Hugo's Les Miserables translated into Malayalam between 1925 and 1927 and Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude translated in 1984.The translation of Hugo's novel energized the scene of Malayalam fiction by infusing new modes of representation and widening the intellectual horizons of writers in general,and novelists in particular.The echoes of Les Miserables could be heard in Malayalam fiction well into the 1950s.The struggles against colonial and feudal authorities in Kerala,provided a fertile context for the imaginative interpretation of Hugo's humanist vision.The paper illustrates this point through close readings of critical essays,autobiographical narratives and debates on the nature of translation.The fascination of Malayali readers with Garcia Marquez has resulted in the translation of his entire corpus into Malayalam.Magic realism as pioneered by Garcia Marquez liberated the Malayalam novelistic narrative from social realist and modernist dogmas.The colonial disruption of oral narratives,the consequent cultural amnesia and the struggle to reclaim one's forgotten past are themes that struck a chord in Malayalam writers of fiction.Through a detailed discussion of the novel,Moustache by S.Hareesh,the interface between novelistic discourse and world literature is mapped in the latter part of the essay.

Comparative World Literature:Making a Case for Re/Translation

Translation has been a major bone of contention in comparative literature studies.For the longest time it was looked down upon by bona fide comparatists,who insisted on studying literary works in the original.World literature scholars,on the contrary,have from the beginning acknowledged that,given the multiplicity of the world's languages and their literatures,it was inevitable that one resort to translation to access all but a handful of literatures.The final decades of the 20th century saw the rise of translation studies.Adopting insights and methods from descriptive translation studies might help bridge any putative gap between comparative and world literature studies,also when it comes to transcultural studies.

Contributions of World Literatures in Portuguese to the Academic Field

As one considers the concept of comparative world literature,one may ponder on how widening the perspective from an all-English area of studies to other languages promotes different worldviews and descriptions of the status quo.In this article,we take into consideration the perspective of literature written in Portuguese,be it European,Brazilian,African of even Asian,in order to demonstrate how rich such other points of view are for the discipline.We also engage the concept of defamiliarization(ostranenie),proposed by Russian Formalist,Viktor Shklovsky,as a central tool to consider cosmopolitanism and the dialogue between different literatures.

World Literature and Decolonization

With remarkable force,"decolonization"re-entered the academic agenda some ten years ago.Having been an ambivalent historical experience undergirding postcolonial studies in its emergence in the 1980s,"decolonization"today is wielded as a concept and a rallying call.One of its rhetorical purposes is to set up an opposition between morally objectionable and morally progressive ways of constructing and sharing knowledge,yet the content of the term is often vague.In this context,world literature has much to contribute,both methodologically and critically.If,on the one hand,there is a decolonizing potential in the very ambition to make the world's literary cultures visible,the critical dimension of world literature scholarship makes us aware of its colonial genealogy.Taking Mazisi Kunene's epic poem from South Africa,Emperor Shaka the Great,as its key example,this article discusses how the dual potential of world literature might contribute to a"decolonized"'mode of literary reading.

Multicultural Women＇s Views on the First World War in Virginia Woolf＇ s Mrs. Dalloway

This year highlights the centenary of the outbreak of World War I and this paper aims at comparing and contrasting multicultural views on the First World War in Virginia Woolf＇s Mrs. Dalloway （1925）. The views on the First War are portrayed by a plurality of voices, most of which are women＇s, and they allow readers to think of the war experience in a more subjective but also more plural way. In this novel, voices from both sides of the First War resonate, i.e., the hegemonic side of the war--the Allies--is compared and contrasted to the subjectivity of the voices of the ＂others＂--the Axis, although they do not necessarily work in harmony. Such innovation in point of view has, in great part, contributed to converging story and history, allowing this literary work to partake in the production of historical knowledge and cultural memory of the War.

迈向共同的“世界文学”:论启蒙与文化辩证中的中国比较教育新使命

从《共产党宣言》关于“世界文学”的论述中可引出文化和启蒙两个透镜,并借以考察我国近二百年来比较教育的发展及其新使命:启蒙使命就是通过与世界教育进行批判性的对话,引入世界教育精神,促进中国教育不断现代化;文化使命强调要参与建设现代教育学、在国际上讲好中国教育故事,参与国际教育治理,连接中外教育精神,以及通过启蒙与文化的辩证构建共同的“世界文学”。启蒙与文化的辩证要求比较教育在回应教育上的文化自信与“世界文学”的关系问题上,应该在方法上采取一种旨在去除文化的片面性和局限性的理性批判态度,在价值方向上应该共建一个共同的、教育的“世界文学”,以落实新时代关于中华民族伟大复兴、全人类共同价值以及人类命运共同体的世界想象;同时,这也是在复兴我们在近现代进程中丢失的教育传统中弥足珍贵的“平天下”维度。全球化时代的教育研究者都必然是某种程度的比较教育学者,迈向共同的“世界文学”也是对所有中国教育学者的呼吁。

理性与疯癫的“异态”世界——访谈茅盾文学奖得主毕飞宇

《上海交通大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》推出“著名作家高端访谈”栏目,本期访谈江苏省作协主席、茅盾文学奖得主毕飞宇。通过比较《欢迎来到人间》和《推拿》两部小说的区别,毕飞宇指出,《欢迎来到人间》更多的是切入当下,描写异态的人与世界,展现其背后隐藏的理性与疯癫;《推拿》则是将盲人的黑暗世界拉到阳光下,展现他们的尊严与抗争。毕飞宇在创作时注重叙事的主体性,关注人与权力、人与社会的矛盾关系。他的创作随着中国文学的阶段性发展,也有意识地实现了从书写历史向切入当下的转变,以期更有效地还原中国。毕飞宇认为,无论外界对经典文学持有怎样的态度,由内心驱动的文学创作不会完全被外部的世界所左右。

观风俗:19世纪欧洲中国小说阅读史的一个视角

在中国不登大雅之堂的小说,自17世纪传入欧洲后却登堂入室,入藏各类图书馆,由私人藏书变为公共藏书,使中国小说文本得到妥善保存,传播范围不断扩大。19世纪随着东方学的兴起,中国小说以风俗志形式进入欧洲阅读史,东方学家认为小说比其他著作更具有观风俗的优势。中国小说以译本和中文刻本形式流通欧洲,看似其读者各有所属,实则他们之间相互交叉、影响,都以观风俗为阅读旨趣,并指向中国形象的建构。中国小说也以翻译、改编、戏仿等多种形式逐渐成为欧洲文学的一部分。19世纪欧洲的中国小说阅读史,体现了世界文学以一种渐趋融通的方式呈现和接纳来自世界各地的文学。它促使我们思考如何理解中国文学的“世界性”和包容力,以更好地推动文明互鉴。

吹响创造人民文艺的号角

文艺界发起“五四”文学革命运动后,为实施启蒙战略,着力创造以大众文学为主体的大众文艺。长期以来,受政治、经济、文化等条件限制,文艺界创造大众文艺的实绩不佳。1942年,毛泽东同志在延安文艺座谈会上阐明文艺新方向后,大众文艺升级为符合党的文艺观的、雅俗共赏的、具有现代性的人民文艺。人民文艺的主要特征是人民创造、为人民创造、属于人民。新时代,习近平总书记在文艺工作座谈会上讲话时,从社会历史发展的高度,面向文艺界吹响了创造人民文艺的号角。新时代创造人民文艺的原则是人民导向,途径是深入实际、扎根人民生活,站稳人民立场、用现代意识之光烛照人民的生活和心理结构,运用民族形式、表现人民的生活和思想感情。新时代创造人民文艺的意义是增强人民文化自信、丰富人民精神世界、升华大众文艺。
