The Mission of Research on Globalization and Comparative Literature

Abstract

ABSTRACT We are living in an era of globalization with constant changes. Globalization has profoundly transformed human life, modes of production and ways of thinking. To obtain a win-win situation and harmonious, common prosperity result, we should actively meet the challenge of globalization, champion cultural diversity, enhance the effective communication between different cultures and civilizations, engage in dialogue on an equal footing, and create an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. Comparative literature study, which has a mission to facilitate communication, dialogue and understanding between culture and literature in eastern and western countries, is supposed to perform an irreplaceable function as a unique bridge. In the age of globalization, China’s comparative literature studies, focusing on cross-culture heterogeneity and complimentary dialogue, take on heavy responsibilities. In terms of culture and academic research, the studies aim to carry out the principle of on-an-equal-footing dialogue and publicize the positive energy of social value.
