《中外文學》與中國∕臺灣文學研究：以「學院派文學雜誌」為視角的考察

Chung Wai Literary Monthly and the Studies of Chinese/Taiwan Literature: An Investigation from the Perspective of “Academic Literary Journals”

所謂「學院派」文學雜誌，乃是由任教於高等院校的學界人士所創辦，以學者及青年學生為編輯及寫作主力，並且每每將學院中的研究與教學成果，轉化為出版文化產品，進而走出學院，進入一般閱讀市場的文學雜誌。本論文試圖以此為觀照視角，就數十年來《中外文學》與「中國／台灣」文學研究的相互關係，進行初步考察。所關切的問題，主要是：《中外文學》如何以其「學院」的位置，介入了當時的學科建制與大學教育？發展過程中，它又如何因「學院人」的學術優勢，引介新興理論思潮，與「中國（古典）」，以及「台灣（現當代）」文學研究進行互動？

“Academic literary journals” refer to journals published by academics at high-level educational institutions. As scholars and students are the main editors and writers for them, these journals represent not only the latest results of academic research but also instructional materials that are now available to the reading public. The present study adopts this perspective for a preliminary investigation of the decades-long relationship between Chung Wai Literary Monthly and the Chinese/Taiwan literary research. This study focuses on the following questions: how did Chung-Wai Literary Monthly use its academic position to intervene in the establishment of such contemporary discipline as comparative literature and to influence college/university-level education accordingly? And how did Chung Wai Literary Monthly introduce newly emerging theories and thus facilitate interactions between Western literary studies and those of (ancient) China and (modern/contemporary) Taiwan to the effect of reinventing the former and establishing the latter as a new academic discipline.
