摘要: 在当今的国际比较文学界和文学理论界,虽然精英文学及其理论的研究受到文化研究的冲击,但专事文学理论研究的比较诗学仍然占有一席之地,在这方面,美国学者孟而康作出的开创性贡献是不可忽视的。作者认为,尽管孟而康并非把目光转向东方的比较文学和文论研究的第一人,但可以说,他对跨文化比较诗学的全面探讨却超越了在他以前或同辈的艾金博勒、佛克马和刘若愚,进入了总体文学和文论研究的境地,这显然与当今的世界文学话题比较接近。作者认为,孟而康的贡献不仅仅止于对比较诗学的拓展,他还对世界诗学的建构作了某种预示,可惜由于他的英年早逝而未能在这方面进行深入讨论,而本文作者则沿着孟而康未竟的事业提出了自己关于世界诗学的理论建构。

Abstract: In the international circles of comparative literature and literary theory, comparative poetics dealing with literary theory still occupies a position although elite literature and its theory are impacted by cultural studies. In this aspect, American comparatist Earl Miner's pioneering contribution should not be neglected. Although Miner was not the first to shift scholarly attention to the study of Eastern comparative literature and literary theory, it may be argued that his intercultural explorations into comparative poetics have surpassed his precursors or contemporaries like René étiemble, Douwe Fokkema and James Liu, entering the field of general literary and theoretical studies. Miner's contribution not merely lies in expanding the domain of comparative poetics, but also anticipates the construction of world poetics. His unfortunate early death denies him further endeavor into the ambitious project. In the light of Miner's preliminary exploration, the present author tries to offer his own construction of a world poetics.
