1993年美国比较文学学会会长查尔斯·伯恩海默例行发表了该学会的第三个十年报告:《跨世纪的比较文学》,又称《伯恩海默报告》①。该报告引起了学界广泛的讨论,1994年伯恩海默将三位比较文学学者对此报告的不同回应以及另外13位学者分别从不同角度写下的关于比较文学现状与未来的文章和三篇十年报告一书,并为此书写下了《导言:比较的焦虑》(The Anxieties of Comparison),这篇导言即为笔者解读的对象。
An Interpretation of "Comparative Literature in the Age of Multiculturalism:An Introduction"
In 1993, Charles Bernheimer, chairman of the ACLA, following the routine, issued the third 10-year reform of this as-sociation,"Comparative Literature at the Turn of the Century", i. e.,"Bernheimer Report"①, which gave rise to a wide range of a-cademic discussion. In 1994, Bernheimer collected relevant views on this report and the whole three reports, and wrote"In-troduction:The Anxieties of Comparison"for this book. This pa-per mainly interprets this introduction.
