Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction
什么是文学理论?文学和文化之间有关系吗?事实上，什么是文学，它重要吗?这些是乔纳森·卡勒在这本简短的文学理论导论中提出的一些问题。文学理论通常是一个有争议的课题，据说在过去20年里改变了文化和社会研究。它被指责破坏了对传统和真理的尊重，鼓励人们怀疑文化项目的政治和心理含义，而不是对伟大文学的钦佩。乔纳森·卡勒(Jonathan Culler)对“理论”的解释不是通过描述敌对的“学派”，而是通过勾勒出理论所鼓励的关键“动向”，并直接谈到理论对思考文学、人类身份和语言力量的意义。
在这个新版本中，卡勒审视了新的材料，包括“死亡理论”，叙事理论和认知科学之间的联系，创伤理论，生态批评，并包括了一个新的章节“伦理和美学”。对于那些想知道这一切大惊小怪的是什么，或者想了解当今文学的人来说，本书简明扼要的介绍是很有用的。
What is literary theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? In fact, what is literature, and does it matter? These are some of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler in this Very Short Introduction to literary theory. Often a controversial subject, said to have transformed the study of culture and society in the past two decades, literary theory is accused of undermining respect for tradition and truth and encouraging suspicion about the political and psychological implications of cultural projects rather than admiration for great literature. Here, Jonathan Culler explains "theory", not by describing warring "school s" b ut by sketching key "moves" theory has encouraged, and speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.
In this new edition Culler takes a look at new material, including the "death of theory", the link s b etween the theory of narrative and cognitive science, trauma theory, ecocriticism, and includes a new chapter on "Ethics and aesthetics". This lucid introduction is useful for anyone who has wondered what all the fuss is about or who wants to think about literature today.
Comparative Literature: A Very Short Introduction
比较文学既是文学研究的过去，也是文学研究的未来。它的历史与现代性的政治动荡密切相关:从19世纪的殖民帝国建设，通过20世纪的犹太人散居，到21世纪的后殖民文化战争，“比较”的尝试定义了文学的国际议程。但是什么是比较文学呢?雄心勃勃的读者通常会被这个概念吸引，但不确定它的含义。
在许多方面，这是正确的:即使专业人士也不能就一个术语达成一致，在英语中称之为“比较”，在法语中称为“比较”，在德语中称为“比较”。相对而言，这个词本身就打开了文化差异的潘多拉盒子。然而，简而言之，这就是比较文学的全部意义所在。
相比较而言，文学就是要认识到通过观察自己的文化可以学到多少东西;不仅要更多地了解其他文献，也要更多地了解自己的文献;它是为了参与理解国家和语言相互作用方式的伟大乌托邦梦想。在一个一方面由 移民 和跨越边界，另一方面由退回到单一语言主义和单一文化主义的矛盾定义的时代，比较文学的跨文化议程已日益成为人文学科未来的核心。事实上，我们都是比较主义者，在我们阅读的过程中，不断地将不同语言、文化和流派联系起来。
问题是我们是否意识到这一点。这篇简短的介绍从学术和更广泛的文化历史的角度来讲述了比较文学作为国际关系代理人的故事。本·哈钦森概述了比较文学的复杂历史和相互竞争的理论，为进入这个出了名的难以捉摸的主题提供了一种容易理解的方法，并展示了比较文学如何像罗夏墨迹测试(Rorschach test)一样，人们在其中看到他们想看到的东西。
最终，哈钦森将比较文学置于文学批评的核心位置，因为正如乔治 ·斯坦 纳(George Steiner)曾经指出的那样，“阅读就是比较”。
Comparative Literature i s b oth the past and the future of literary studies. Its history is intimately linked to the political upheavals of modernity: from colonial empire-building in the nineteenth century, via the Jewish diaspora of the twentieth century, to the postcolonial culture wars of the twenty-first century, attempts at "comparison" have defined the international agenda of literature. But what is comparative literature? Ambitious readers looking to stretchthemselves are usually intrigued by the concept, but uncertain of its implications.
And rightly so, in many ways: even the professionals cannot agree on a single term, calling it comparative in English, compared in French, and comparing in German. The very term itself, when approached comparatively,opens up a Pandora "s b ox of cultural differences. Yet this, in a nutshell, is the whole point of comparative literature.
To look at literature comparatively is to realize just how much can be learned by looking over the horizon of one"s own culture; it is to discover not only more about other literature s, b ut also about one"s own; and it is to participate in the great utopian dream of understanding the way nations and languages interact. In an age that is paradoxically defined by migration and border crossing on the one hand, and by a retreatinto monolingualism and monoculturalism on the other, the cross-cultural agenda of comparative literature ha s b ecome increasingly central to the future of the Humanities. We are all, in fact, comparatists, constantly making connections across languages, cultures, and genres as we read.
The questionis whether we realise it. This Very Short Introduction tells the story of Comparative Literature as an agent of international relations, from the point of view both of scholarship and of cultural history more generally. Outlining the complex history and competing theories of comparative literature, Ben Hutchinson offers an accessible means of entry into a notoriously slippery subject, and shows how comparative literature can be like a Rorschach test, where people see in it what they want to see.
Ultimately,Hutchinson places comparative literature at the very heart of literary criticism, for as George Steiner once noted, "to read is to compare".
