First, comparative literature and its nature
American scholar Henry? Remarque's definition of comparative literature is? Study the relationship between literature and other fields of knowledge and belief, such as art, philosophy, history, social science, other sciences, religion, etc., beyond the scope of literary research in a country. In short, it is to compare the literature of one country with that of another or several other countries, and to compare literature with other fields of human expression. ? Has the field of comparative literature got rid of it? Binary? It is a cross-national, cross-language, cross-border and interdisciplinary literary study, which enables literature to learn from, supplement, confirm and inspire other ideologies, makes it possible to study the convergence of comparative literature and other ideologies, and promotes the development of literature and other disciplines.
The task of literature is to describe and study people, and comparative literature studies people's feelings, experiences, attitudes, emotions and pursuits. Literature studies all kinds of problems faced by various nationalities in life, and studies the nature and personality of "* * * *", similarities and differences, and the reasons for these similarities and differences. Obviously, such research can help all ethnic groups understand each other, so as to achieve mutual understanding, and comparative literature has therefore become a good way for all ethnic groups to communicate with each other.
With the advent of the post-colonial era and the multicultural era, the comparative study of eastern and western literature has sprung up suddenly. Comparative literature has truly become a global literary study and the most dynamic, successful and popular era in the international literary world, so it is considered as one of the branches of the world today? Xianxue? .
Second,? Globalization? Challenges and opportunities under the times
The globalization of economy and technology has brought us into an unprecedented era, violently impacting our thoughts, concepts and consciousness, making us feel like living in a? Global village? Medium.
As we all know, national literature was gradually formed in the16th century with the rise of nation-state and the unification of national language, which led to its unique regionality, cultural homogeneity and originality. Comparative literature transcends the boundaries of language and race, and a single text context is replaced by a bilateral and comparative perspective, which is of great significance for a broader understanding of the relationship between literature in various countries.
Comparative literature is not to compare for the sake of comparison, but to study the leaping literary phenomenon, explore the history and experience of literary exchange between various countries and nationalities, and explore the laws of literary creation and development, so as to promote the prosperity of literature of all ethnic groups. Its ultimate goal is to realize the ideal of world literature. In other words, from the beginning, it aimed at breaking the boundaries between countries and nations and at the globalization of literature. At present, in the multicultural era, people get rid of the shackles of colonialism, not only gain a broad world for the free development of national culture, but also learn from each other's strong points through comparative research, carry forward the fine traditions of the nation, and move towards prosperity with * * * *. From this perspective, the trend of globalization has opened the way for the realization of the ideal of world literature.
The challenge of culture is regarded as the biggest challenge of globalization, so in the process of cultural globalization, the relationship between globalization and domestic traditional culture has attracted much attention, and how to re-understand local culture has become the top priority. In the eyes of nationalists, cultural globalization is more like a strategy of encroachment by cultural hegemonism? Camouflage? . Therefore, they call for protecting local traditional culture and resisting cultural globalization.
Third, the necessity and significance of comparative literature research
There are various differences among nations, so they will inevitably encounter various obstacles in their communication. How to overcome obstacles and open up communication channels? There are various methods. Comparative literature advocates mutual understanding, mutual respect, equality and tolerance among different cultural systems. Such research can undoubtedly play a positive role in literary exchange and promote the process of world literature.
First of all, no national literature can develop in an isolated and closed cultural space. Today, human beings cannot avoid the fact that various lifestyles interact with each other. In the process of self-knowledge, what any literature faces is not whether to consider the relationship with other literature, but how to realize self-knowledge in the relationship with other literature. Similarly, in order to truly explain western literature, we need to start not only from the tradition of European culture and literature itself, but also from the perspective of China culture and literature.
Secondly, any kind of literary research today deeply feels the need to understand world literature from the perspective of comparative literature, so as to correctly evaluate national literature under the overall landscape of world literature and promote the development of national literature more effectively. Today, this has basically become a strategy for the development of literature in various countries in the world, so that our own literature can more effectively cope with the development of world culture and literature in the pattern of world cultural development.
Third, the research results of comparative literature fully explain and show the historical facts that the literature of all countries in the world learn from each other and use each other. The history of China's literature and culture development tells us that the development of China's literature and culture itself is a process of constantly learning from other national cultures. Today, people appreciate Tang poetry, which contains the achievements of China literature and culture learning from Indian Buddhist culture since the Han Dynasty.
Comparative literature not only aims at literary globalization, but also serves as a bridge between national literature and world literature and a way for human beings to realize their literary ideals. The era of globalization is a good opportunity for comparative literature to play a better role.
