Abstract: When content develops to a certain historical stage, it will have a sense of formal constraints, making the change of form an inevitable need to promote content. Inspired by this belief, recent related discussions such as the study of “Academical prose” have begun to reflect on the issue of citation in academic writing. The theory of citation not only provides support for deconstruction but also entails methodological significance for academic citation itself. In contemporary academic theory, citation does not mean merely the writing technique of extracting and utilizing fragments from the original text; rather, it means that the original text attains repetition only through being cited, thereby becoming a historical rather than merely logical category, and acquiring its unique meaning as such. Therefore, quoting is precisely the only way to enable the original logic to be successfully realized in history. In essence, it is the “My Objectivity” that have gone through the development of dissidents. This contemporary connotation of citability helps to improve the shortcomings of the citation tradition of “Subjective Me” in the sense of cross-contextual reference, reveals the power mechanism behind fragmentary appropriation and arbitrary juxtaposition, and raises the issue of literary research methodology on citation in the process of mutual learning between Chinese and Western civilizations today.

Key words: citability, cross-contextuality, literary study, iterability, difference
