Abstract
The beginning of the 1990s saw a fundamental change in ontology, epistemology and methodology in the theory of new world literature. It is no longer stable and essentialist, but turns into a relationship, a network and a process of occurrence. Its epistemology is no longer dualistic, but pluralistic, transcending the boundaries of nationality and language to emphasize the translated text as a phenomenological ontology. Due to “the bankruptcy of philology” in the study of humanities and the increased complication of world literature, researchers advocate cooperation and the use of interdisciplinary methods. Digital humanities, in particular, emerge in the age of big data in order to solve the methodological problems in their study. Although the theory of new world literature risks relativism, it has promoted a new research community within comparative literature that highlights the humanistic value of the discipline.
