中外文学关系研究是比较文学与跨文化研究的基本课题之一。以往在关于中外文学关系研究的理论思考中或偏重于方法的探讨,或侧重于某一种视域的进路,而忽视了从多重视域的思路更为全面地观照这一领域的复杂性。本文提出从“元阐释视域”“文化汇通视域”“世界整体视域”三个不同的维度,也即从“微观”向“宏观”扩展的多重视域共同交汇于研究对象,以期对中外文学关系领域展开更为全面、系统的整体观照,促进中外文学关系研究的多视域、多范式融合与优势互补。

The relational study of Chinese and foreign literatures is one of the basic domains of comparative studies. The previous theoretical reflections on the relational study in question mainly focus on either the issues of methodology or highlighting a single perspective while neglecting the complexity of the domain which commands a prism of multiple perspectives. The present study hence proposes three varied yet interconnected perspectives, namely, the perspective of metacommentary, the perspective of fusion of different cultural horizons, and the perspective of the totality of the world. That is to say, the relational study in question should be viewed from the vantage point of the above three interconnected yet ever-expanding concentric circles, i.e., from micro to macro. It argues that further explorations of those three perspectives can provide more profound and systemic examinations in this field which would in turn facilitate the integration of different research perspectives and approaches.
