摘要：
The increasing attention that contemporary scholars and students give to the concept of globalization and to new technologies should not lead them to minimize the importance of historical consciousness in the study of literature and culture.In the study of Richard Wright(1908-1960),it is historical consciousness that enables us to distinguish between those of his works that have productive relevance(the potential to provoke synchronic thinking about contemporary human issues) and those which possess reflective relevance(the potential to invite diachronic thinking about change).This essay argues that new interdisciplinary directions in the study of Wright can help us to balance a threatening "rhetoric of carelessness" with a desirable "rhetoric of genuine concern."
