Parallel Studies and Hermeneutic Variation

Abstract

To understand parallel studies from the view of hermeneutics would be a helpful way to break through their developmental predicament.Theoretically,parallel studies have clear connotation of hermeneutics.Meanwhile,the practices of seeking common hermeneutics between literary works and theories,and the hermeneutic approach highlight the essence of parallel studies.Hermeneutic variation of parallel studies caused by the heterogeneity of different cultures falls into two types:unconscious hermeneutic variation and conscious hermeneutic variation.Moreover,hermeneutic variation might cause the aphasic problems,or become the potential power of cultural innovation.
