  The Chinese school of comparative app bet365 download has attracted widespread attention

The discussion about the Chinese school of comparative literature has been a hot issue in the field of comparative literature in recent years。The French school and the American school are the two development stages of comparative literature。The French school created the influence app bet365 download paradigm,Mainly engaged in app bet365 download on the history of international literary relations;The American school advocates parallel app bet365 download,Doesn’t think literary comparisons need to have factual influence,That is what Qian Zhongshu said in "Tan Yi Lu" "East China Sea and West Sea",Psychologically identical;Learn from the South and North,meaning "the art of Taoism is not broken"。The American school proposed parallel app bet365 download because it was dissatisfied with the French school's mechanical emphasis on the source of influence,But the disadvantage of parallel app bet365 download is that there will be many hard comparisons、Random comparison and random comparison,Some scholars even “demonized” parallel app bet365 download because of this。

Is it necessary to propose a “Chinese School”,Still controversial in academia。Some scholars believe,Logically speaking,The French school, which focuses on the factual influence relationship between literature from different countries, and the American school, which believes that literary comparison does not have to have factual influence, have included all comparative literature app bet365 download,There is no need to propose a new school of thought。But the truth is not that simple。Comparative literature papers reproduced in "Foreign Literature app bet365 download", a copy of newspaper materials in the past three years,There are almost no impact studies in the strict sense,There is no pure parallel app bet365 download,Instead, focus on the following aspects。

The first is to discuss the image of China in app bet365 download。For example, Chen Bing's "The Puritan Defoe's China"、"Yan'an Writing by Foreign Writers (1934-1949)" by Zhao Xueyong and Wang Xin、Zou Yayan's "The Image of China in the Western Perspective in the Late 16th Century - Taking Mendoza's "History of the Great Empire of China" as an Example"、Hou Tiejun's "The Porcelainization of China - Porcelain and the British View of China in the 18th Century", etc.。

The second is to study the translation of foreign literary works in China、Acceptance and misunderstanding。For example, Xu Yong's "The Compilation of Foreign app bet365 download Anthologies and the Acceptance and Legality of "Modernism""、Wang Jiezhi's "Different Cultural Models of Literary Reception—Taking the Reception of Russian app bet365 download in China as an Example"、Tan Yuan's ""Famous Philosopher" or "Poetry Poet"?——The changes of Goethe’s image in the perspective of scholars in the late Qing Dynasty”、Zhang Qiang's "Appropriation of Intention: Auden in China" etc.。

It’s overseas sinology app bet365 download again,Such as Ji Jin's "On Overseas Sinology app bet365 download in the Context of World Literature"、Liu Yunhua's "Methodological Construction of Parallel app bet365 download on European and American Sinology and Comparative Literature", etc.。

The above content is an important content of Chinese comparative literature app bet365 download in recent years。Imageology of the above、Methodology of Translation、app bet365 download on Receptology and Overseas Sinology,Highlights the new characteristics of Chinese comparative literature that are different from influence app bet365 download and parallel app bet365 download。

  app bet365 download on women’s literature is eye-catching

Women’s literature and ethnic minority literature are the most eye-catching hot spots in the field of foreign literature app bet365 download since the 21st century。The top 20 most studied foreign writers from 2016 to 2018 are in order (number of app bet365 download papers in brackets): Shakespeare (222)、Toni Morrison (153)、Faulkner(89)、Woolf(79)、Alice Munro (78)、Sisters Emily and Charlotte Brontë (76)、Kafka(72)、Hemingway (72)、Thomas Hardy (69)、Jane Austen (65)、D·H·Lawrence (65)、Ishiguro Kazuo (63)、Doris Lessing (59)、Nabokov (59)、Pearl Buck (58)、Ian McEwan (55)、Fitzgerald(54)、Dostoevsky (52)、Alice Walker (52)。Among the above 20 foreign writers most studied by Chinese scholars,There are 9 female writers,Almost half。Toni Morrison, who has received widespread attention from the app bet365 download community、Alice Walker、Nabokov、Ishiguro Kazuo and others are all minority writers。

But,app bet365 download on women’s literature and ethnic minority literature also hides crises under the lively appearance,A large number of papers are on female theory、A simple application of postcolonial theory or diaspora theory。Take female literature app bet365 download as an example,Nearly a thousand app bet365 download papers on female literature have been published in the field of foreign literature in the past three years alone。But judging from the number of papers reprinted in full in the newspaper material "Foreign Literature app bet365 download",The number of reprints on women’s literature app bet365 download in the past three years is not large,Only a dozen articles。This partly reflects the lack of new perspectives in female literature app bet365 download、Extensive app bet365 download on similar issues。

  app bet365 download on spatial criticism and spatial narrative continues to heat up

Studying foreign literature from the perspective of spatial criticism is a app bet365 download hotspot that has emerged in recent years。End of the 20th century,Western theoretical circles have experienced a spatial turn。Generally believed,This theoretical turn was first initiated by Lefebvre's "The Production of Space",After that, Mike Crown’s Cultural Geography、Spatial Criticism: The Geography of Criticism by Philip Wegener、Space、Place and Textuality" and Edward Suja's "Space Trilogy" and many other theorists' app bet365 download,This makes space theory a grand sight。Spatial theory is dissatisfied with the traditional theory’s neglect of space,In-depth study of "spatiality" in social life,Transfer the previous focus on “time” to “space”。Under the candlelight of space theory,Geographical environment in literary works、Urban landscapes, etc. all present different meanings。

Judging from the domestic paper publishing situation,Foreign literature app bet365 download papers with the theme of “space” were extremely rare before 2000,After 2000, space theory began to enter the field of vision of researchers,A large number of related studies appeared after 2010,Continuous growth in recent years。

There are 293 foreign literature app bet365 download papers related to space app bet365 download included in the copy material catalog index database from 2016 to 2018,19 of them were reprinted in full,Higher reprint rate。The reprinted papers focus on the following aspects: first, the study of the urban space presented in the work,For example, Fu Xinghuan's "app bet365 download on the Code System of the "Moscow Text" of Russian Literature" and "Dostoevsky's Petersburg Urban Space", etc.;The second is the study of the regional landscape depicted in the work or the spatial environment in which the story takes place,Such as Yang Man's "Spatial Criticism of "Mr. Biswas's House"" etc.;Again,Another important aspect is the study of the text space structure of the work,Such as "The Pilgrimage of the Soul on the Sensory Map—The Spatial Structure of the Middle English Poem "Pearl"" by Huiyi Bao, etc.。

  The sudden rise of app bet365 download on “Nobel Prize” writers

In recent years,"Nobel Prize" writers have attracted much attention from foreign literary app bet365 download circles。The Nobel Prize winner in literature every year basically triggers a app bet365 download boom。The winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature from 2013 to 2017 are: Alice Munro、Patrick Modiano、Svetlana Alexievich、Bob Dylan、Kazuo Ishiguro。The five Nobel Prize winners all experienced a period of less app bet365 download before winning the prize,Or no app bet365 download at all (like Svetlana Alexievich),The number of app bet365 download papers increased sharply after winning the Nobel Prize,The process of declining number of app bet365 download papers。Only Kazuo Ishiguro is slightly different,Chinese academic circles conducted more app bet365 download on him before he won the award,But related app bet365 download also increased significantly after he won the "Nobel Prize"。

In addition to the above four app bet365 download hotspots,Ecological Literature app bet365 download、app bet365 download on the relationship between Russian Orthodox Church and literature、American “911 Literature”、Elderly Writing、Digital humanities and other app bet365 download are also emerging in new ways,Become a new academic growth point。
