Abstract

Abstract:

Can one "know everything"? In the past, there were people who came close to doing so, but it seems impossible to have contemporaries who know everything. Certainly, some texts aspire to "say everything"; and the French expression tout dire has a venerable history. Yet saying everything is not the same as polymathy. Can texts, however, be polymaths? A case for an affirmative answer to the question is made by way of passive constitution.

说出一切

摘要：一个人能 "无所不知 "吗？过去曾有人接近于此，但似乎不可能有同时代的人无所不知。当然，有些文章渴望 "无所不知"；法语中的 "tout dire "也有悠久的历史。然而，"无所不知 "并不等于 "无所不能"。然而，文本可以是多面手吗？有人通过被动构成的方式对这一问题做出了肯定的回答。

期刊介绍： New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
