Abstract

Abstract: In the past 15 years, Ethical Literary Criticism has gradually perfected its theoretical paradigm and steadily built up its research team while absorbing extensively various theoretical resources and confronting new issues and challenges. At the 9^th International Symposium on ELC, scholars conducted heated discussions concerning such broad topics as theoretical construction and critical practice of ELC in interdisciplinary studies, the critical practice of different genres, scientific and technological ethics, environmental ethics, frontiers of comparative literature and world literature in a global age, ethical approach to the rereading of literary classics and the study of national literatures, etc. A salient feature of the conference is its emphasis on trans-national, cross-disciplinary, and trans-genre approaches. What is most noticeable is the new progress in ethical criticism of Oriental literature as well as the critical practice and the construction of theoretical discourse in the study of poetry and drama, which shows the unique impact of ELC upon the interpretation of world literature and the promotion of the East-West dialogue.

Key words: Ethical Literary Criticism, interdisciplinary studies, the East-West dialogue
