厄尔·迈纳是比较诗学研究的先行者之一,他关于比较诗学研究的一些理论和观点给后来的研究者带来了很多启示。最重要的是,他敏锐地觉察到了“可比性”在比较诗学中的重要地位及其研究难度。而今,距迈纳提出这个难题已经十几年了,学者们对该问题的研究仍未取得突破性进展。本文结合目前国内外对这一问题的研究成果,尝试从三个方面来对这一问题进行探讨:一、正确认识“可比性”;二、寻找和发掘“可比性”;三、慎用文化相对主义。 Earl Miner is one of the forerunners of comparative poetics. Some of his theories and opinions on comparative poetics bring much inspiration to later researchers. Most importantly, he was keenly aware of the importance of “comparability ” in comparative poetics and the difficulty of his research. Now, from Miner proposed this problem for more than ten years, scholars on the issue of the research has not yet made any breakthrough. In this paper, the current domestic and foreign research on this issue, try to explore this issue from three aspects: First, a correct understanding of “comparability”; Second, find and explore “comparability ”; , Be careful of cultural relativism.
