The Significance,Research Principles and Approaches of Constructing Comparative Filmology
In order to cope with the increasingly frequent exchanges between Chinese and foreign films,as well as the devel-opmental requirements of the cultural power strategy for Chinese films to go global,the construction of comparative filmology as a discipline is imperative.As an emerging discipline,comparative filmology should draw on the successful experiences of the more developed discipline of comparative literature,but it should also respect the unique characteristics of film studies.Based on macro systems,goals,and principles,this paper starts with the disciplinary definition of comparative filmology,the significance of its construction,research principles,and research approaches,and elaborately demonstrates the feasibility of constructing comparative filmology as an independent discipline.
