12009年早已过去，但苏珊·巴斯奈特却以其2006年发表在于英国比较文学学会（BCL，A）会刊《比较批判研究》（Cbmparative Critical.Studies3）第三期的文章《二十一世纪比较文学反思》fReflections on Comoararive Litemture in the Twenty-First Century）又一次震动了了中国比较文学界。该文的中文译文首先刊登在《中国比较文学》2008年第四期，随后《中国比较文学》2009年一期刊登了十几位中国比较文学学者针对该文撰写的笔谈。由于苏珊·巴斯奈特无法阅读中文，在佛克马教授的建议下，我们组织了这一组英文笔谈。这组文章对巴斯奈特的论文进行了进一步讨论，我们希望能够与全世界同仁一起继续深入探讨比较文学研究领域中出现的新问题。毕竟，比较文学还是一个相对年轻的学科。
