The Development of Contemporary Literary Theory and the New Development of Comparative Literature Theory

In recent years, the voice of reflection and criticism on the discipline of Comparative literature has been emerging at home and abroad, and the shadow of the theory of the demise of Comparative literature has plagued this discipline. From the perspective of its disciplinary origin, Comparative literature has a broad cosmopolitan mind and aims to explore common literary laws; However, when conducting specific research on Comparative literature, especially when the Chinese school proposes cross civilization research, researchers should pay full attention to the impact of the heterogeneity of different civilizations on Comparative literature research. This paper attempts to further analyze the development of contemporary literary theory and the new progress of the discipline theory of Comparative literature. The transformation and development of contemporary literary theory, whether in terms of paradigm shifts or theoretical reorientations, is not a simple linear progression and evolutionary logic but rather a complex spiral cyclic evolution. This is worth studying and discussing the new progress of the discipline theory of Comparative literature and conducting necessary theoretical reflection, to summarize historical experience and lessons in order to promote the innovative development of literary theory in the new era.
