【摘要】：《已知的世界》是爱德华P·琼斯的代表作。小说自从2003年问世以来,就因为其独特的主题和视角,即美国内战前黑人奴隶主的故事,而引起广泛的关注。琼斯也凭借此书获得了2004年普利策小说奖、美国全国书评家协会奖、以及2005年国际都柏林文学奖。评论家称赞其小说是一部壮丽的史诗及抒情散文。该小说全面展现了人物、情节,对话生动活泼。一些评论家甚至把爱德华P.琼斯看作是南方写作的新生代力量,称其可以与威廉.福克纳和托尼.莫里森相媲美。本文从经典叙事学的角度,主要以法国叙事学家热奈特的《叙事话语》的理论为蓝本,对爱德华P.琼斯的《已知的世界》的叙事方法和技巧进行详细的文本分析,论文将文本细读和理论探索相结合,通过对《已知的世界》中的叙事聚焦、叙事时间和叙事话语等要素的讨论,力图说明爱德华P·琼斯的卓尔不群的叙事艺术特色以及其作品深远的影响力。本文首先以叙事学理论为依据分析了小说的叙事聚焦,认定作者主要采用零聚焦来展示生活在奴隶制度下每个人物的生活状态以及奴隶制下不为人知的一面。其次,从叙事时间入手分析了小说的结构,着重探讨了叙事时间和故事时间的异同。小说在时序方面主要使用“时间倒错”,在进行“时间倒错”时巧妙的穿插“倒叙”和“预叙”。通过分析了解到作者娴熟地把握了叙事时间和故事时间的关系,使得小说的节奏快慢相宜。论文最后探讨了《已知的世界》的叙事话语。大多数的小说家都依靠叙事话语来发展故事情节和反应人物的性格特点。随着叙事学的发展,叙事学家对于文本中不同的叙事话语越来越敏感。采用不同的叙事话语可以反应出人物之间的以及人物和读者之间的距离。在小说中,爱德华P.琼斯运用多种叙事话语使得小说更加的直接和生动。通过以上分析,本文揭示了爱德华P.琼斯如何利用叙事聚焦、叙事时间和叙事话语等叙事手段强化叙事效果的。因此本文试图通过经典叙事学的角度去解读《已知的世界》,本文的方法是在理论考察与《已知的世界》之间建立一种循环关系,这种方法不仅让我们可以从一个新的理论去评析这本小说,而且也可以增进我们对叙事的解读。从而帮助我们进一步了解爱德华P.琼斯的卓尔不群的叙事艺术特色以及其作品深远的影响力。
[Abstract]:The known World is the masterpiece of Edward P. Jones. Since 2003, the novel has been written because of its unique theme and perspective, the story of the former black slave owners of the American Civil War. Jones also won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2004 and the National Association of Book reviewers Award for this book. In 2005, the International Dublin Prize for Literature. Critics praised his novel as a magnificent epic and lyrical prose. The novel comprehensively shows the characters and plot. The dialogue is lively. Some critics even see Edward PJones as a new generation of Southern writing, saying it can rival William Faulkner and Tony Morrison. From the perspective of classical narratology, this paper is based on the theory of "narrative discourse" by French narratologist Genett. This paper makes a detailed textual analysis of the narrative methods and techniques of Edward PJones' the known World. The thesis combines the text reading with the theoretical exploration and focuses on the narrative in the known World. The discussion of such elements as narrative time and narrative discourse tries to illustrate Edwards P Jones' outstanding narrative artistic characteristics and the profound influence of his works. This paper firstly analyzes the narrative focus of the novel based on narratology theory. The author believes that the author mainly uses zero focus to show the life state of each character living in slavery and the unknown side of slavery. Secondly, the author analyzes the structure of the novel from the perspective of narrative time. This paper mainly discusses the similarities and differences between narrative time and story time. The author skillfully interspersed "flashback" and "pre-narration" in the process of "time reversal". Through the analysis, the author understood the relationship between narrative time and story time skillfully. The thesis finally discusses the narrative discourse of the known World. Most novelists rely on the narrative discourse to develop the storyline and the character of the characters. Development. Narratologists are more and more sensitive to different narrative discourse in the text. Different narrative discourse can reflect the distance between characters and readers. Edward P. Jones uses a variety of narrative words to make the novel more direct and vivid. Based on the above analysis, this paper reveals how Edward PJones makes use of narrative focus. Narrative time and narrative discourse strengthen the narrative effect. Therefore, this paper attempts to interpret the known world through the classical narratology. The method of this paper is to establish a circular relationship between the theoretical investigation and the known world. This approach not only allows us to evaluate the novel from a new theory. It can also enhance our interpretation of narration, thus helping us to better understand Edward PJones's outstanding narrative artistic characteristics and the profound influence of his works.
