課程概述

Course Description:
本課程旨在使學生了解傳統與當代比較文學關懷的各大關目。前者如法國學派強調的影響研究與美國學派看重的平行研究等，後者則包羅較廣，奄有後殖民研究、文化研究、性別研究、宗教研究、政治批評與主題學等等。翻譯研究在近年來已蔚為專門學科，影響力與日俱增，本課程列之為當代比較文學發展的首要研究課題，期使學生了解比較文學與翻譯間極其密切的各種關係。

This course is designed to acquaint the students with not only traditional investigations of comparative literature as an academic discipline, but also contemporary developments and configurations of it. The perspectives of comparative literature, therefore, are explored through the study of such topics as influence studies, parallel studies, Sino-Western literary relations, poetics, philology, and genre studies. Alternative concepts of comparative literature in recent development like post-colonial approaches, cultural studies, gender studies, religious studies, political criticism, and thematics will be explored, too. With the recent appearance of translation studies as a discipline in its own right, this course will broaden its scope of study to include it and prioritize it in its exploration of especially such topics as imitation, adaptation and literary relations.

課程目標

Course Objectives:
For term papers, students are allowed to do such traditional topics in the field of comparative literature as influence studies and parallel studies; they are also encouraged to do any of recent developments in comparative studies of literature or even interdisciplinary works between literature and other fields. Students are expected thus to familiarize themselves with both literary theories and comparison of, for instance, Chinese literature with other literature(s) they are specifically interested in. In a word, this course is devoted as its goal of pursuit to producing comparatists in good command of both literary and interdisciplinary studies between literatures and other fields of the humanities, translation studies in particular.

課程要求

Requirements:
Knowledge of Chinese literature (to some degree) and related foreign literature(s) are most desirable.
