「外國文學門」課程在近代中國大學院校的建置與標準化──以北大、清華為討論中心

The Disciplinary Procedure and Standardization of Foreign Literature Courses in Modern Chinese Universities: Peking and Tsinghua University

在中西文化相互碰撞、衝突與調和的中國近代史上，不論是傳統學術向現代學術體制轉型，抑或是新興的知識範疇陸續在學院化的學術體系中站穩腳跟，躋身為大學裡的某項學門，它們的形成皆有其背後的思想文化脈絡與歷史因素，經不斷地發展與調適，逐漸造就其內在的理路與制度。本文以民國時期大學院校「外國文學門」課程的發展為討論主軸，通過相關的教育史文獻、檔案彙編、校史資料，以及當時與外文學門有密切關係人士之年譜、著作與回憶錄，探討該學門在清末與民國時期從萌芽到確立其地位，以及課程建置走向標準化的過程。

The conflict-laden transition of the Qing Empire into the Republic of China is reflected in the emergence of a modern national educational system. Both traditional learning and Western knowledge were incorporated into the nascent academic realm as adjunct parts of the national canon, a process which involved a constant readjusting and reinterpretation of antipodean components. By focusing on the construction of foreign literature courses at Peking and Tsinghua University during the early Republic, this paper argues that even the standardization as well as institutionalization of such new fields of learning was firmly embedded in a native cultural and historical context.
