Chen Lizhen & David Damrosch
Title: Reconsidering Chinese Literature and World Literature : An Interview with David Damrosch
标题:再论中国文学与世界文学:大卫·达姆罗什访谈录Abstract: David Damrosch is Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Comparative Literature, Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature and Director of the Institute for World Literature, Harvard University. His research fields include theory and methods of comparative literature and world literary studies, Bible and ancient Near Eastern literatures, modern European and global Anglophone literatures. He has written widely on world literature and comparative literature. Along with his numerous articles, his books include What Is World Literature? (2003), How to Read World Literature (2009) and Comparing the Literatures: Literary Studies for a Global Age (2020). His theory of circulation has a far-reaching influence on world literary studies. He is interviewed by Chen Lizhen on the issues of world literature, Chinese literature and the recent discussions of global literature in the intellectual community of China. In this interview, Professor Damrosch defends his idea of world literature and comments on the current critical inclinations of replacing “world literature” with “global literature” or “planetary literature”. Professor Damrosch reiterates his stress on world literature. By paying more attention to the way in which world literature comes into a given national market, he tries to modify his earlier proposition of taking world literature as a mode of circulation and reading as well as a process in the global market.内容摘要:大卫·达姆罗什,哈佛大学厄内斯特·伯恩鲍姆比较文学讲席教授、比较文学系主任、世界文学研究所所长。他的研究涉及比较文学和世界文学研究的理论与方法、圣经与古代近东文学、现代欧洲与全球英语文学。他在世界文学与比较文学方面著述丰富,代表作包括《什么是世界文学?》(2003)、《如何阅读世界文学》(2009)、《比较多种文学:全球化时代的文学研究》(2020)等。他倡导的“流通说”极大地推动了世界文学研究。陈礼珍教授就世界文学、中国文学与全球文学的最新讨论等话题采访了达姆罗什教授。在访谈中,达姆罗什教授捍卫了自己有关世界文学的观点,并对现今批评界试图用“全球文学”和“星球文学”取代“世界文学”的构想进行了评论。达姆罗什教授重申了他的世界文学理念和立场,修正了自己早先将世界文学视为在全球市场内一种传播与阅读模式和一种过程的主张,更加关注世界文学如何走进一个特定国家的文学市场。

Title: Sea Narratives as Nautical Charts: On the Literary Cartography of Oceanic Spaces
标题:作为航海图的海洋叙事:论海洋空间的文学绘图
内容摘要:海洋给文学制图者带来了独特的问题。它辽阔的水域没有稳定或精确的地名、可记录的地点或醒目的地标,滚滚波涛中的暗流是仅有的通道。地球如此之多的表面被海洋空间覆盖,但在这个空间能看见或者能被绘入地图的却是如此之少。然而,这里也是海洋叙事的场所。海洋叙事是最具奇幻色彩的文学形式之一,是一种结合了旅行叙事的新闻报道与狂野传奇的极度冒险的文类。至少从18世纪末开始,海洋叙事伴随着全球经济的根本性变革不断发展,因为纯贸易的海洋空间成了资本生产过程中不可或缺的一部分。海洋叙事是理解这一不断变化的世界体系的重要形式,因为船员的个体视角同时将海洋空间的主观经验与难以理解的世界体系的整体性联系在一起。尽管其抵制表征,但赫尔曼·麦尔维尔和约瑟夫·康拉德等作家都竭力表征这个空间。在海洋叙事中,自然、社会、个体性和文本性的相互作用建立了一组复杂的动态坐标,据此可尝试海洋空间的文学绘图。本文探讨海洋空间对文学绘图所构成的挑战,并认为作为一种文类的海洋叙事是绘制这些独特的敌托邦和异托邦的有效方式。

标题:流动性研究:文学空间研究的新方向
Title: Mobility Studies: A New Direction in Spatial Literary Studies
Abstract: If the “Spatial Turn”of the social sciences in the 1990s triggered the quick rise of Spatial Literary Studies, the “Mobility Turn” that occurred in the early years of the 21st century may have also drawn enthusiastic attention to the issue of mobility in literary studies. The “Mobility Turn,” whose inception, budding, and growth are deeply indebted to the “Spatial Turn,” stresses the connectivity and dynamics of space and the crucial role mobility plays in the construction of space as well. Literary representation of mobility is mainly executed through an integrated body-space-mobility model and laid out with mobility medium (transport technology and transport infrastructure) and mobility politics as the two basic dimensions. The significance of Mobility Literary Studies is: on the micro level, it focuses on the embodiment of mobility and sees mobility as spatial practice of the body; on the macro level, it reveals the interplay between mobility and literature, namely, the changes in narrative structure and literary genre impacted by the transformation of mobility technology and infrastructure on the one hand and, on the other, a series of ways in which literature functions, such as observing mobility evolution, revealing mobility politics, participating in mobility discourse, and intervening mobility practice.

标题:文学绘图:文学空间研究与叙事学的重叠地带
Title: Literary Cartography: An Overlapping Territory of Spatial Literary Studies and Narratology
Abstract: “Literary Cartography” is an important concept advocated by Robert T. Tally Jr., a leading scholar in the field of spatial literary studies in the US. Using the making of maps as a metaphor for literary writing, especially the creative representation accomplished through narrative, this concept reveals that writing and other literary activities attempt to not only map the connection between subjectivity and a broader spatiotemporal totality, but also explore how literature represents and constructs the totality. Literary cartography is both the core of Spatial Literary Studies and a major expansion in Narratological studies. Firstly, it embodies the fundamental connection between mapping, narrative, and human existence; secondly, the studies of literary cartography stress narrative maps/mapping, including the “real” tangible maps and the narrative mapping with words, which may involve various modes, discourses, and points of view of mapping; thirdly, it can be employed to explore the narrative form/mode and the mapping characteristics of a certain text, author, time period or genre. The theory of literary cartography not only discusses and discloses the methodological, epistemological, and ontological significance and value of narrative spatiality on the one hand and, on the other, stresses the ideology of narrative forms/modes and even narrative itself.

标题:身体与空间:18 世纪英国小说中女性的衣着分析
Title: Body and Space: Female Dress Analysis of English Novel in the 18th-Century
Abstract: In Margaret Higonnet’s view, the increasing popularity of “the spatial turn” provides richer material for contemporary Feminist criticism. What this entails is not only interlocking the physical, social, and political spaces, but also pushing the body to the front. Eva Stadler’s analysis of the heroines’ dress in the 18th-century English novel cites what they wear as a distinction in separating and opening the spaces bewteen male and female, public and private. Defoe’s Moll Flanders has been viewed as a novel that awoke women’s consciousness with a dressing style, a reversal of gender roles, and a dismantlement of social hierarchies. In Pamela, Pamela’s dress is a symbol of her social status, but it is closely tied to her body and writing as well. Judging from the contemporary Feminist criticism, all this not only shows the shifting characteristics of the class and gender spaces in the 18th century, but also anticipates the prelude of modernity.

标题:莱辛《拉奥孔》中的时空观
Title: Space and Time in Lessing’s Laocoon
内容摘要:莱辛在《拉奥孔》中关于诗画界限的观点,打破了当时传统的欧洲诗画一致说。通过诗人维吉尔等在诗中关于拉奥孔的描述和作为绘画群雕“拉奥孔”的比较,诗画各自对情绪的不同处理,以及诗画内容和时空摹仿的讨论,莱辛较为全面地论述了诗 画的界限和交互影响。从索雅的后现代空间理论出发,重新观照莱辛在《拉奥孔》中的诗画时空观,在媒体科技高度发达和后现代艺术及视觉诗歌蓬勃发展的背景下,莱辛诗画观仍具有一定的理论和实践意义;诗与画不仅具有最基本的物理空间和精神空间,同时也可以具有索雅开放的第三空间。索雅的空间理论为我们重新审视莱辛的诗画观提供 了一个新的视角。
Abstract: Gothold Ephraim Lessing’s Laocoon breaks the traditional theory of consistency of painting and poetry. He thinks there should be limits between the two. Comparing Laocoon in poets’ eyes, such as the description in Virgil’s Aeneid, with marble sculpture “The Laocoon and His Sons”, Lessing explores passion’s expression in the space of painting and poetry, as well as space’s and time’s “copy” from each other. Re-examining Lessing’s theory of space and time in painting and poetry from the point of Soja’s post-modern theory of “Third Space”, Laocoon still has great significance in theory and practice against the background of the development of media technology and the prosperity of postmodern arts and visual poetry. Either poetry or painting has both physical and spiritual space, while having Soja’s open “Third Space”. Soja’s spatial theory offers a new perspective and dimension to re-scrutinise Lessing’s theory in poetry and painting.英美文学研究

标题:道德批评的选择:艾略特与白璧德
Title: The Choice of Moral Criticism: Eliot and Babbitt
内容摘要:T. S. 艾略特师承欧文·白璧德。艾略特一方面承继了老师白璧德对浪漫主义的批判,沿袭白璧德对道德和古典主义问题的关注,主张白璧德对教育实用化趋势的看法等学术思想;另一方面,又坚持“追求和怀疑”“吸收和抛弃”并存的姿态,与白璧德围绕宗教本质、人文主义与宗教关系等问题展开了学术争论,表达了人文主义只有具备开放性和包容性,方可在美国社会落地生根、茁壮成长。艾略特试图在人文主义的信条和纪律与基督教的同情和宽容之间寻求一个可能的平衡点,这一主张在当时看来颇有新意,也颇具前瞻性。在文学批评史上演绎了近现代版“吾爱吾师,也爱真理”的学术传奇,艾略特为推动西方乃至世界文学批评发展作出了重要贡献。Abstract: T. S. Eliot was a disciple of Irving Babbitt. On the one hand, he inherited Babbitt’s critical stance toward Romanticism, carried on Babbitt’s concern with issues related to morality and Classicism, and advocated Babbitt’s academic views about the trend of pragmatic education. On the other hand, however, Eliot insisted on adopting, side by side, the strategies of “pursuit and doubt” and “absorption and abandonment,” thus launching a series of scholarly debates with Babbitt on the nature of religion, the relationship between Humanism and religion, and other issues, and claiming that only through openness and inclusiveness could Humanism take root and grow sturdily in American society. Eliot attempted to strike a probable balance between the doctrine and discipline of Humanism and the empathy and tolerance of Christianity. At the time, such a concept appears to be novel, but certainly forward-thinking. Eliot reenacted a modern-day academic legend of “Teacher is dear to me, but dearer still is truth” in the history of literary criticism and made important contributions to the development of literary criticism in the West and in the world as well.吕洪灵
标题:反思感伤:《重情者》中的商业经济与道德观念
Title: Self-Reflection of Sentimentality:Commerce and Morality in The Man of Feeling
内容摘要:在启蒙运动时代的苏格兰文学中,亨利·麦肯齐的《重情者》因其感伤的成分而曾被解读为滥情的感伤小说。实际上,这部作品在18世纪苏格兰商业发展的大背景下,应和了苏格兰启蒙思想家相关情感道德的论说,借助感伤小说的形式将情感表现、商业发展和道德观念并置于被审视的位置。小说成为对感伤进行自我反省的文本,在利用人物对土地租赁和殖民经济等商业活动进行感伤批判的同时,又在文本内部对之进行再审视,人物的道德典范作用也因此受到质疑。小说以此表现出苏格兰商业社会化的必然,从而深化了对于文学道德教育意义和社会功能的思考。
Abstract: Henry Mackenzie’s The Man of Feeling, once derided as an oversentimental novel, is actually a self-reflective text set against the Scottish commercial development in the 18th century in response to some theoretical discussions on sentiment and morality during the Scottish Enlightenment. Taking the advantage of the form of sentimental novel, it attempts to turn issues like sentimental expression, commercial development, and moral concept into subjects of scrutiny. Thereby, the novel becomes a self-reflective text on sentimentality, in which the characters release their sentimental criticism toward the commercial activities, such as land leasing and colonial economy, but their criticism is reexamined and their role as the model of morality is questioned. The novel shows the inevitable commercialization in the Scottish society and inspires an in-depth reflection over literature’s significance in moral education and social function.

Title: Representing the Veiled Historical Memory in Mythological Writing: The Themes of The Palm-Wine Drinkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts Reconsidered
Abstract: In their studies of A. Tutuola’s masterpieces The Palm-Wine Drinkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, scholars have noticed that mythological writing is full of the writer’s criticism of colonialism. With a close reading of the two novels from other perspectives such as history, folklore, and gender studies, this article further argues that Tutuola, was a writer with acute historical consciousness and a keen concern about the fate of African women. In these two novels, he offered both a realistic representation of the fear within the precolonial Nigerian society toward the slave trade and an objective depiction of the living conditions of the Nigerian women who used to enjoy a relatively high social status in early years. Although Tutuola did not attempt at a conscious and systematic of history construction, his mythological writing is a significant deviation from the construction of history by Nigerian and even by African nationalist writers, for it not only resurfaces the historical traumatic memory that has been deliberately veiled by them, but also repudiates the explicit patriarchal inclination in their construction of history.

Title: The Implications of Vegetarian Ethics in J. M. Coetzee’s Works
Abstract: The identity of Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee as a vegetarian is closely tied to his literary writing. Vegetarianism is not only Coetzee’s lifestyle, but also his major creative idea. Coetzee presents his values and ethics of vegetarianism in his work by means of personalized artistic techniques, expressing his ethical beliefs, and playing out his role as an ethical guide. His vegetarian ethics demonstrates both the care for animals and the concern for the victims of gender bias and racism. What he does in his work is to expose the bloody violence and atrocity inflicted on animals in carnivorous culture in defense of their basic and ethical right for survival on the one hand and, on the other hand, debunk the gender-based and political discourse hidden in the carnivore diet in patriarchal culture as a fierce resistance to and relentless denunciation of the gender oppression and racial violence conspired with carnivorism. Coetzee hopes that the vegetarian ethics represented in his work will inspire his readers to reflect on their relationships with animals and with other people, probe into the true nature of human being, and thereby benefit from the ethical instructions and moral admonitions. However, there seems to be some inevitable ethical paradoxes in his moral criticism on carnivore behavior and his vegetarian attitude, which we need to consider in earnest.

标题:“以诗证史”与“形而上学的慰藉” ——以华兹华斯《康伯兰的老乞丐》为例
Title: “Verifying History with Poetry” and “Metaphysical Solace”: A Case Study of Wordsworth’s “The Old Cumberland Beggar”
内容摘要:陈寅恪先生所创立的“以诗证史”研究方法堪称20世纪中国文史研究方法论领域的一座丰碑。但由于该方法过分注重诗歌的史料价值,反而遮蔽了诗歌的艺术价值。另外,陈寅恪先生认为该方法不适用于西方诗歌研究,这也是对西方诗歌的误解。华兹华斯《康伯兰的老乞丐》的分析个案表明:第一,“以诗证史”法同样适用于西方诗歌研究;第二 ,“以诗证史”法具有很高的史学研究价值,但无法揭示伟大诗歌所具有的“形而上学的慰藉”之艺术价值。Abstract: The methodology of “yi shi zheng shi” (verifying history with poetry) established by Chen Yinque has been acclaimed as a monumental achievement in the Chinese literary and historical studies in the 20th century. Due to its undue emphasis on the historical allusions in poems, however, this methodology inadvertently overlooks the aesthetic value of their poetics. In addition, Chen Yinque’s argument that “yi shi zheng shi” cannot be applied to the study of Western poetry seems to be a misconception of Western poetry. An analysis of Wordsworth’s “The Old Cumberland Beggar” shows: first, “yi shi zheng shi” can be, and has been, applied to the study of Western poetry; second, this methodology might be quite imperative in historical studies, but it can hardly lay bare the aesthetic value of “metaphysical solace” in great poetry.杜 磊

标题:《萨哈林旅行记》与契诃夫的远东印象
Title: A Journey to Sakhalin and Chekhov’s Impression of the Far East
Abstract: A. P. Chekhov’s trip to Sakhalin is the sum total of physical and mental labor, as well as a journey of redemption to seek for a spiritual breakthrough. There is a violent collision between the “Oriental Land of Abundance” in the author’s imagination and the “Living Hell” he witnessed in reality. Chekhov’s writing about the Far East in A Journey to Sakhalin and in his letters to family and friends shows an obvious discrepancy. This kind of biased writing is not only a personal impression of the author, but also a reflection of the prejudice toward the East within the entire Russian intelligentsia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
