摘要/Abstract

摘要： 传统上，民族文学往往与民族国家相关联，这种关联有时近乎神秘。其实社会学意义上国家远远多于民族国家，这意味着一个特定的国家内部可能不止一个民族，因此也就有不止一种民族文学。本文审视了多民族国家中创作的民族主体的概况，旨在构建一种方法来考察文学生产，这种文学生产不是“民族文学”，准确说是“联合文学”。

Abstract: There is a general tendency to associate a national literature with a nation-state, a link that at times verges on the mystical. Yet it is common knowledge that there are considerably more sociological nations than nation-states, suggesting that often there is more than one nation in a given country and likely more than one national literature. This essay scrutinizes the real contours of the national bodies of writing produced in multination states in an attempt to develop a method for examining literary production other than the “national literature” paradigm—more specifically, federal literatures.

Key words: ethnonational, federalism, multination states, national literature, world literature
