ABSTRACT

The elaboration on and evaluation of the views of some representative figures also ask for reconsideration. In particular, the integration of the keywords in Western literary theory and contemporary Chinese literary criticism needs to be deepened. In 2007, project “Keywords in the Western Literary Theory and Contemporary Chinese Literary Criticism” was subsidized by the National Social Science Fund of China which launched the study of keywords. The readers may obtain some pleasure from the historical and logical analysis of the keywords such as “discourse”, “literariness” and “ideology”. The collection and selection of the materials and the interpretation and elucidation of the keywords need to be scrutinized and polished. The elaboration on and evaluation of the views of some representative figures also ask for reconsideration. In particular, the integration of the keywords in Western literary theory and contemporary Chinese literary criticism needs to be deepened.
