摘要
作为一种发生在思想领域的传播现象,理论的传播有其模式可循。从萨义德的理论旅行概念和克莱默尔的“信使”模式看去,东方文论在英语学界的传播模式具有双重特征:一方面是出身东方国家的本土研究者致力于向英语世界读者展现东方文论的本真面貌,另一方面是来自东方国家之外的异域研究者在语境“噪音”干预下对东方文论进行再语境化的阐释。以Web of Science数据库2000年以来收录的英语学界东方文论研究论文为例,可以发现本土研究者的传播意图以“信使”式的理论传播为主轴,体现在概述性研究、专门性研究、创新性研究和比较性研究四个方面;异域研究者的传播意图则容纳或制造了“噪音”,其中既有先入为主的误读,也有从异域视角出发对东方文论价值的肯定与发展。
As a kind of communication phenomenon that takes place in the field of thought,the communication of theories has its own mode to follow.Edward Said's concept of“travelling theory”clearly delineates the different steps of the communication of theories,namely,point of origin,distance transversed,conditions of acceptance and theories'new position in a new time and place.In particular,he emphasizes the contextual pressures and the meaning change that theories face when they enter heterogeneous contexts.In the travelling process of theories,the researchers of Eastern literary theories as the communicators of the theories play a key role in determining the form in which an Eastern literary theory is presented.Because of the different cultural backgrounds on which the researchers of Eastern literary theories are based,there are naturally differences in their understanding of these theories,especially between the local researchers from the Eastern world and those from outside the Eastern world.Based on the“messenger”communication mode proposed by Sybille Kr?mer,both local and foreign researchers of Eastern literary theories are undoubtedly messengers that spread these literary theories beyond the Eastern world,but compared with local researchers who live in the Eastern context,foreign researchers are more disturbed by some kind of“noise”in their interpretations of Eastern literary theories.By synthesizing the concept of travelling theory and“messenger”communication mode,a simplified framework of the communication mode of Eastern literary theories in the English-Speaking academic circle can be drawn up,which consists of three dimensions:point of origin,conditions of acceptance and communication effects.“Messenger/noise”lies between the conditions of acceptance and the communication effects,which promotes the formation of two different communication effects of Eastern literary theories by local and foreign researchers:on the one hand,local researchers from Eastern countries are committed to presenting the true appearance of Eastern literary theories to readers of the English-speaking world,and on the other hand,foreign researchers from outside Eastern countries interpret these literary theories in a certain“biased”way under the intervention of contextual“noise”.This paper collects the research papers on Eastern literary theories in English-Speaking academic community included in the Web of Science database since 2000,and then screens out the papers written by local researchers and foreign researchers as supporting materials.From the viewpoints of these papers,it can be found that the communication intention of local researchers is mainly based on the“messenger”communication mode,that is,to restore the original appearance of Eastern literary theories to readers in the English-speaking world as much as possible,as well as the development direction in the eyes of Eastern scholars.The communication intentions of foreign researchers have accommodated or created“noise,”which includes not only the misinterpretation of Eastern literary theories,but also the innovative development and value reshaping of these theories from a foreign perspective.
