本文以访谈对话的形式探讨法国文学批评家罗兰·巴尔特与中国的关系作为比较文学研究课题的各种可能性。两位共同作者所处理的问题包括:巴尔特的符号学和书写概念,他与叙述学的关系,巴尔特笔下的中国和日本,以及中国学界(含台湾和香港)的巴尔特研究的评估。由于巴尔特对于语言的再现功能和主体性的反思与批判是其一贯的思想脉络,本文特别用对话问难方式对“巴尔特与中国”及“巴尔特在中国”这两个议题从事辩证式的探索。 This essay explores the possibilities of Roland Barthes’ relationship with China as a topic of comparative literature research in the form of interviews. The two co-authors dealt with Bartlett’s notion of semiotics and writing, his relationship to narrative, Bartlett’s assessment of China and Japan, and the Barthes study of Chinese academics in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Because Barthes’ reflection and criticism on the reproduction function and the subjectivity of language are its consistent thoughts, this article uses two kinds of dialogues, “Barthes and China” and “Barthes in China” Topics engaged in the dialectical exploration.
