“学科之死”？

本文从对斯皮瓦克的《学科之死》一书的质疑入手，认为与美国不同，中国的比较文学在中西文化学术交流与沟通中仍然具有很强的主导作用。笔者认为，中国的比较文学虽然直到20世纪80年代才成为一门独立的学科，但发展迅速，很快就被国际比较文学学术界所接纳，并成为国际比较文学协会的重要成员。自20世纪80年代比较文学在中国大陆独立为一门学科以来，它既与以中西比较研究为核心的“区域研究”相结合，又与“跨国界”的策略相结合，更多地引入其他学科或学科的课题。即使在全球化时代，人文学科的许多其他学科都受到了严峻的挑战，中国的比较文学研究仍然蓬勃发展，因为它与世界文学密切相关，甚至结合成一门学科，许多国际上讨论的理论话题在中国语境中“全球化”。
SummaryStarting with questioning Gayatri Spivak's controversial book Death of a Discipline, the present article tries to argue that unlike the case in the United States, comparative literature in China is still very energetic playing a leading role in Chinese-Western cultural and academic exchange and communication. Although, to the author, comparative literature in China did not become an independent discipline until the 1980s, it has been developing so rapidly that it was soon involved in international comparative literature scholarship and has become an important member of the International Comparative Literature Association. Since comparative literature became an independent discipline in mainland China in the 1980s, it has been both combined with “area studies” with its focus on Chinese-Western comparative studies and with the strategy of “crossing borders” and more topics from other disciplines or branches of learning. Even in the age of globalization when many of the other disciplines of the humanities are severely challenged, comparative literature studies in China is still flourishing as it is closely related to or even combined with world literature into one discipline, with many of the internationally discussed theoretic topics “globalized” in the Chinese context.
