新文科背景下,国别与区域研究自被纳入外国语言文学学科后,受到越来越多的重视。如何认识外国文学研究和国别与区域研究的关系,助力国别与区域研究并推动共同发展是值得深入思考的问题。跨学科研究是两个研究方向融合建构的基础,两者又各有其研究设定,外国文学研究在向国际问题研究拓展时,需保持原学科方向的独立性。通过外国文学研究的相关实践可以看出,处理好两者的关系,研究者可以更好地以问题为导向,为新文科建设做出贡献。

Since its incorporation into the discipline of foreign languages and literature, country-and-area studies has aroused more concerns in view of new liberal arts. It is worthwhile to consider such issues as how to adjust the relationship between foreign literature research and country-and-area studies, and what are the ways to promote the latter so as to further mutual development. Interdisciplinary research serves as the basis for their integration while each holds its respective research dimensions. As foreign literature research expands to international issues, it is necessary to maintain its original disciplinary principles. Through the relevant practice, it is argued that researchers, by a proper integration of foreign literature studies and country-and-area studies, can be better problem-oriented in their contribution to the development of new liberal arts.
