ABSTRACT

Contemporary Chinese literary theory is a discourse with Chinese characteristics. Yet for a while, as this discourse is marked with a pronounced “forgetting” of native traditions and a purposeful “misreading” of theories from the west, it has caused a sustained crisis over the identity of what Chinese literary theory highlighted by a deeply felt anxiety over “aphasia”—the loss of voice by Chinese scholars. The purpose of this research is to probe into the process of “China Discourse” from the lost to innovation and to find practical methods both for the theoretical construction and contemporary Chinese literary theories realizing a dialogue with the west under the background of cultural diversity. In the field of comparative literature, Variation Theory that put forth by Chinese comparatists represents the innovation of Chinese Discourse.
