摘要
西方原有的比较文学学科理论认为,相同性是比较文学可比性的基础,因而,从西方比较文学学科理论的学理角度来讲,东西方不同文明之间比较的合法性是受到怀疑的。这种不正常现状显然应当改变。中国比较文学学者提出的变异学研究,是比较文学学科理论的重要突破。变异学重新为东西方不同文明的文学比较奠定其可比性与合法性基础,这个可比性与合法性就是异质性和变异性,变异学肯定了变异和差异不仅具有可比性,而且是人类文明对话,文化创新的重要路径。本文从学理角度肯定了东西方不同文明文学的可比性,这就从正面回答了韦斯坦因及其西方学者的困惑与谬见,奠定了东西方不同文明文学比较的可比性与合法性,弥补了西方比较文学学科理论的不足。中国比较文学学者提出的变异学研究,开创了比较文学学科理论的新阶段。
Within the former Western framework of comparative literature meones, me justifiability of comparing literatures from different civilizations such as East and West was questioned. This was demonstrated overtly that there was no justifiability of comparing literatures of diverse civilizations in the former Western framework of theories. The proposal of the Variation Theory is a conceptual change in terms of the building of the discipline, which enables the study of Comparative Literature to transform from seeking homology to seeking heterogeneity. In other words, not only homology and affinity but also variation and heterogeneity should be the focus of the Variation Theory. Only when these aspects are organically combined together, will the discipline of Comparative Literature be satisfactorily built. The Variation Theory proposed by Chinese scholars is a great innovation and push to Chinese comparative theories and will exert great influence and value on the development of the world Comparative Literature.
