摘要

在20世纪的理论讨论中,历史写作遇到了许多挑战,尤其是后现代主义和解构主义使文学史在西方几乎不可能实现。因为今天的世界文学仍然是西方文学的经典之作,而许多非西方文学甚至“次要”的欧洲文学仍然是未知和未翻译的,一部世界文学史是绝对必要的,它将那些未知的世界文学介绍给全球读者,超越那些未知文学作品的原始语言和文化环境。将这些不为人知的作品翻译成英文并广泛传播是使世界文学超越欧洲中心主义的第一步,而撰写世界文学史将有助于我们从真正的全球视角了解世界文学传统的基本情况。

The Challenge of Writing a World Literary History
The writing of history has encountered many challenges in twenty-century theoretical discussions, and postmodernism and deconstruction in particular have made literary history all but impossible in the West. Because world literature today remains the canonical works of Western literature, while much of the non-Western literatures and even “minor” European literatures remain unknown and untranslated, a world history of literature is absolutely necessary to introduce the yet-unknown world literature to a global readership beyond the original linguistic and cultural milieux of those unknown literary works. Translating those yet-unknown works into English for a wider circulation is the first step to make world literature go beyond Eurocentrism, and writing a world history of literature will help us know the basic situation of the world’s literary traditions from a truly global perspective.
