内容摘要: 弗拉基米尔·比蒂是奥地利维也纳大学讲席教授,欧洲科学院院士,《阿卡迪亚:国际文学文化学刊》主编,主要从事从事世界主义、创伤理论、文化批评、叙事理论等领域的研究,发表论文百余篇,出版专著9部,其近期作品主要包括《探寻全球民主:文学、理论和创伤政治》(2016)、《依附豪夺:后帝国欧洲的献祭叙事》(2018)。2018年6月,受《外国文学研究》编辑部委托,万晓蒙博士在比蒂访问上海交通大学期间,就世界文学、创伤理论等前沿话题对其进行了专访。访谈中,比蒂主要论述了世界主义理论的复杂性,指出不同的地理、社会、文化环境催生不同形式的世界主义,而世界主义由此经常以混杂的形式出现,表现出多面性、异质性的特征。比蒂不仅评述了创伤理论、叙事理论、伦理批评的最新发展,同时又结合其近期研究成果,详细阐述了“献祭叙事”、“教学关系”等概念。针对未来的文学和文化研究,他给中国青年学者提出了相关建议,也期待中欧未来展开合作。

Abstract: Vladimit Biti is Distinguished Professor at University of Vienna, member of Academia Europaea, and editor of arcadia: International Journal of Literary Culture. He published over a hundred articles and nine books including the most recent Tracing Global Democracy Literature, Theory, and the Politics of Trauma (2016) and Attached to Dispossession: Sacrificial Narratives in Post-imperial Europe (2018), Biti engaged in a number of research areas such as cosmopolitanism, trauma theory, culture criticism, and narrative theory. On behalf of Foreign Literature Studies, Dr. Wan Xiaomeng interviewed Biti on a wide range of issues during his visit to Shanghai Jiao Tong University in June 2018. When addressing the complexity of cosmopolitanism, Biti claims that different geopolitical, social, and cultural circumstances develop different and often hybrid forms of cosmopolitanism, and thus it is so multi-faceted and heterogeneous phenomenon. Apart from commenting on the recent developments in trauma theory, narrative theory and ethical criticism, he also elaborates on such concepts as “sacrificial narrative” and “pedagogical relationship.” In addition, Biti offers suggestions for Chinese young scholars and expresses his hope for Chinese-European cooperation in the future.
