摘　　要：《什么是世界文学?》是当代美国比较文学学者大卫·达姆罗什论述世界文学的经典之作。本文从世界体系论的视角重读《什么是世界文学?》,从世界文学的民族维度、世界维度与国家战略维度切入,系统考察反体系运动与世界文学之间的联系。本文认为,反体系运动与美国重新提出并阐发世界文学之间存在重要的关联,美国国内和国际上的反体系运动是促使美国倡导世界文学的重要动因,而世界文学也在政治层面上起到了缓解反体系运动所引发的国内和国际矛盾的作用,并成为美国实施全球化战略的重要文化工具。《什么是世界文学?》对于世界文学的阐发深刻展现了文学与政治之间的普遍关系,也引发学者思考应该建构怎样的世界文学。David Damrosch’s What is World Literature?is viewed as a path-breaking work on world literature.Focusing on three dimensions of world literature,this article attempts to analyze What is World Literature?from a world-systems perspective,aiming to explore the interplay between antisystemic movements and world literature.This study finds that American scholars're-proposing the world literature concept is closely related to antisystemic movements.Domestic and international antisystemic movements are important motivations for American comparatists to advocate this concept,and world literature in return plays a vital role in mitigating the contradictions caused by antisystemic movements,and serves as an important cultural tool for the United States to implement its globalization strategy.What is World Literature?'s elaboration on world literature profoundly demonstrates the universal relationship between literature and politics,and stimulates scholars to consider what kind of world literature should be constructed.
