Literary Theory: Nationality in an Age of Globalization

The maintenance of nationality of Chinese literary theory in an age of globalization is part of the issue of the relationship between culture and nationality. Many factors are herein involved, including nationality and the globalization of Chinese literary theory, the relationship between the discourse of modernity and traditional culture, and the treatment of Localization, the modern constructive transformation of ancient Chinese literary theory, etc. A thorough study of these factors is needed to draw a reasonable conclusion. There is an important principle for introducing into China Western literary theories: the significance of the theory is to represent and interpret China's experience and its meaning rather than tailoring China's experience as insignificant footnotes to Western theories. China's Experience is an unalterable key word and a commanding point in the theoretical field.
