英文摘要 | This paper will discuss the challenges to comparative literature as a discipline brought about by the globalization of economies and universities, the decline of the nation-state, the new regime of telecommunications, and the rise of cultural studies. In particular the question will be how comparative literature can avoid the Scylla of becoming “world literature” or “world cultural studies,” on the one hand, and on the other hand the Charybdis of remaining blithely Eurocentric. The argument will be that the key to an answer to this question lies in maintaining linguistic, literary and cultural expertise as the center of the discipline. The difficulty, of course, will be to train teachers and scholars adept both in European languages and East Asian, subcontinental Indian or African languages. The danger, as always, is that comparative literature, with the best will in the world, will continue in spite of itself to perpetuate and extend the cultural imperialism of the United States and Europe. It has to become a two-way comparative discipline in which neither side is hegemonic. This is by no means easy to accomplish. |
