为了回顾二十世纪美国文学与文化研究的丰硕成果，展望二十一世纪东西文学与文化交流的态势，进一步推动美国文学与文化研究，北京大学外国语学院与美国纽约州立大学阿尔巴尼分校将协同北京大学欧美文学研究中心、全国中美比较文化研究会，于2001年10月24日至27日在北京大学联合举办
“展望新世纪---变革时代美国文学与文化研究全球性对话” （Reading
for the Millennium: A Global Dialogue on American Literature and Culture in a
Time of Change）国际学术研讨会。在这新的变革时代，各种新的技术、思潮以其迅猛的趋势冲击着人们的思想，东西方学者对此做出的反映存在着不同程度的差异。全球性技术、文化与经济的飞速发展要求我们对传统的文学、艺术、文化以及时间、空间和人文思想本身等诸多方面进行重新审视与定义。传统的学科界限被打破；传统的学术领域有了新的视角、新的内容和新的趋势。新的文学与文化批评的方法与理论正改变着传统的文学与文化研究。回首中华民族的灿烂文明，对照美利坚合众国的民主文化，我们希望能够开拓新的视野，从不同视角来重新思考美国文学与文化的多种表现形式：文论、诗歌、小说、戏剧、艺术、文化等等。东西方学者将在大会上广泛地交流全球化环境中美国文学与文化研究的新观点与新思想。通过大会学术报告、学术论坛、圆桌讨论等多种形式，我们希望与会者能就一些共同关心的议题进行充分研讨。会议将围绕美国文学与文化研究这个主题分别就以下几个议题展开研讨：
1．
美国文学与文化研究：回顾与展望
2．
美国文学理论研究
3．
美国后现代诗歌与诗学研究

Reading for the New Millennium:
in
a Time of Change

The School of Foreign Languages at Peking University and the English Department at the State University of New York at Albany, with the collaboration of the Peking University Center for European and American Literatures and the China Association for the Comparative Study of Chinese and American Cultures, will jointly sponsor an international conference on new approaches to the study of American literature and culture in the new millennium during October 24-27, 2001 at Peking University. The emerging technologies and the global cultural and economic systems require a rethinking of the traditional themes and texts and a redefinition of traditional notions of literature, arts, and culture. The very way that meaning is made is changing, and this change is reflected even in the basic academic disciplines. New critical methods and new theories of literature and culture have appeared and are transforming literary and cultural studies. In an important sense the disciplinary boundaries are being redrawn, and new kinds of material enter into traditionally well-defined fields. Literary texts are studied in relation to texts from the popular culture, and both are studied in relation to the cultural conditions that they reflect and to a broad range of philosophical theories. We feel that it is time to meet and share our findings toward a more comprehensive mapping of the twenty-first century literary and cultural landscape. By looking backward to our rich histories, and beyond our present contexts to what divergent models can offer us, we hope to begin to envision a new future for the reading of texts of all forms: theoretical, poetic, narrative, dramatic, artistic, cultural, historical, religious, and technological. We welcome interested scholars from China, the United States, and all over the world to join us in this conference.
We will address but will not be limited to the following issues. How are familiar texts of American literature and culture to be read in the new context of the twenty-first century? What are the common concerns of literary and cultural scholarship in China and the United States? What are the differences? How does technological innovation unsettle notions of what constitutes literature, art, culture, time, space, and humanity itself? How might globalization change notions of "national" literatures, arts and cultures? How should "literacy" be defined in a time when multimedia communications dominate our cultural landscape? How have literatures, arts, and thought been conceptualized and taught across cultures? How might literary and cultural scholarship and education contribute to shaping these vital changes? What perspectives on these issues might scholars from "the oldest civilization," in the Eastern hemisphere, and the "new world," in the West offer one another? We hope to open new avenues of cooperation and mutual understanding between two cultures that will play major roles in the history of the twenty-first century and between two academic cultures that can profit from continuing interaction.
