This book is the final result of the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Planning Fund Project of the Ministry of Education "Reconstruction of World Literature and the Creation of Chinese Discourse" (12YJA751011). It collects 38 papers published by project-level members in the past three years, as well as about 5 translations by professors Damroš and Pucciner of Harvard University in the United States. It mainly focuses on four aspects: contextual analysis of reconstruction theory, theoretical concepts of world literature reconstruction, principles of compilation and selection of world literature masterpieces, and cultural criticism of world literature. It questions the theoretical concepts and construction systems of world literature centered on the West, and proposes a new dialectical concept of multi-civilization dialogue among Chinese scholars. It believes that the construction theory of world literature should be reconstructed and a Chinese discourse system of world literature should be created.
