【摘要】：从古至今,中外小说研究一直围绕情节发展这一种叙事运动展开,从各种角度挖掘其深层意义。然而,笔者发现,在不少小说的情节发展背后,还存在一个与之并行的"隐性叙事进程"。两者走向不尽相同甚或完全相反,在相互补充或相互颠覆的过程中,表达出丰富的主题意义,塑造出多面的人物形象,引发或邀请读者做出复杂的反应。在安布罗斯·比尔斯的《空中骑士》中,就存在这样的双重叙事运动。其情节发展围绕战争的残酷无情、儿子被迫弑父的悲剧展开,而隐性进程则围绕履行职责的重要性展开。我们若从头到尾追踪这并列前行的双重叙事运动,关注其既互相冲突又互为补充的复杂关系,就能更为准确地把握作品的修辞目的并更加全面地理解作品的内涵。此外,若打破长期批评传统的束缚,将注意力从单一叙事运动拓展到双重叙事运动,还能在多个方面发现理论创新的机遇和研究扩展的空间。
[Abstract]:Since ancient times, the study of Chinese and foreign novels has been carried out around the narrative movement of plot development, excavating its deep meaning from various angles. However, the author finds that there is a parallel "recessive narrative process" behind the plot development of many novels. In the process of complementing each other or subverting each other, they express rich thematic meanings, create multi-faceted characters, and trigger or invite readers to make complex reactions. In Ambrose Bierce's Knight of the Air, there is such a double narrative movement. The development of the plot revolves around the ruthlessness of war, the tragedy of son being forced to kill his father, while the hidden process revolves around the importance of performing his duties. If we follow the dual narrative movement from beginning to end and pay close attention to the complex relationship that conflicts and complements each other, we can grasp the rhetorical purpose of the work more accurately and fully understand the connotation of the work. In addition, if we break the shackles of traditional criticism and expand our attention from a single narrative movement to a dual narrative movement, we can also find opportunities for theoretical innovation and space for research expansion in many aspects.
