ABSTRACT
When new materials or ideas which might rectify or subvert the existing entry were obtained, although greatly delighted, we would patiently scrutinize, reconsider and revise our manuscripts. Two of the remarkable qualities of Keywords are critical thinking and the abundance of academic information. The collection and selection of the materials and the interpretation and elucidation of the keywords still need to be scrutinized and polished. The elaboration on and evaluation of the views of some representative figures also ask for reconsideration. The study of keywords builds a dialogue between Chinese and Western critical theories, which reflects the team members’ deep insights and theoretical creativity. In particular, the integration of the keywords in Western literary theory and contemporary Chinese literary criticism needs to be deepened. Like some other Chinese scholars, one still lack calm discrimination and close observation of the increasingly frequent academic communications between China and other countries.
