Abstract

Ethnic minority literature is not only an important part of literature research, but also an important topic of concern in folklore (folk literature) research. In the past few decades, many overseas Sinologists and folklore have paid close attention to Chinese minority literature. Especially in the past 20 years, under the influence of the performance theory, there have been many literary works on minority nationalities, which can be called excellent works. Among them, Mark Bender, an American folklorist and sinologist, is especially diligent in the study of Southwest minority literature, including the Miao and Yi nationalities. Professor Bender's greatest contribution to the study of Chinese minority literature lies in his change from the academic tradition of regarding ethnic literature as a purely research object to the path of understanding Chinese minority culture and life, which not only opens up the thinking of minority literature research, but also causes the paradigm revolution of minority literature research to some extent.
