摘　　要：在当今的世界文学讨论中,学者们一般在赞同世界文学应该涉及全世界各主要民族和国别文学的同时,又不得不面对这样一个问题:究竟世界文学是全世界各国或各民族文学的总和,还是其中最具有代表性或在全世界范围内有着较大影响的优秀文学作品?因此,判断一部作品是否属于世界文学必然需要一定的标准,这就涉及文学翻译及经典的建构和重构问题。围绕这一议题的讨论甚至争论,不仅涵盖了世界文学的内容、范围和边界等问题,更关乎基于何种视角来界定世界文学这一议题。基于国际同行的先行研究,该文认为,世界文学在一定的程度上就是一种理论建构。此外,当代高科技的介入也使得世界文学研究在方法论方面相较于其他传统学科取得了显著的突破。因此,研究世界文学不能沿用传统的方法,而应该寻求创新。对于中国学者,参加世界文学议题的讨论有助于推动中国文学跻身世界文学之林,进而在其中占据越来越重要的地位。In today's discussion on the issue of world literature,scholars usually agree that world literature should involve the literature of major nations and countries around the world.However,they have to face the question of whether world literature is the sum of the literature of all countries/nations in the world or the most representative or influential excellent literary works in the world.Therefore,there must be certain criteria for determining whether a work is world literature,which involves issues of literary translation and canon formation.The discussion and even debate around this topic is not only about the content,scope,and boundaries of world literature,but also about what perspective should be used to define world literature.Based on previous research by his international peers,the author believes that world literature is to some extent a theoretical construction.In addition,the intervention of contemporary high technology has also led to significant breakthroughs in methodology in the study of world literature compared to other traditional disciplines.Therefore,studying world literature cannot merely rely on traditional methods,but should make breakthroughs.For Chinese scholars,participating in discussions on the issues of world literary is beneficial for Chinese literature to enter the ranks of world literature and occupy an increasingly important position.
