【摘要】：空间是任何一部小说都不可或缺的时空两大因素之一。小说的空间自然是由语言符号所构成,因而具有独特的语言属性和艺术功能。长期以来,在我国外国文学研究界,叙事研究者们大都更青睐于西方小说所具有的明显的时间性,而相对忽视其空间符号表现及其功能。但若要对西方小说进行较为全面的探讨,就需要从语言文化符号学的角度,对小说的语言符号、结构形态和内在意蕴等方面的空间功能做一系统性的研究。本文将阐释空间是小说文本有效运行的二级错觉。小说空间二级错觉意味着运用各种空间元素,来实现、补充和发展小说的时间本质。小说空间二级错觉有三种功能表现。第一种是“几何空间性”,体现了“点”(如“视点人物”、单一情节、象征性字词、主题等)、“线”(如“提线人物”、叙述“线程”等)和“面”(如叠加层面、“变余构造”、“螺旋体”结构等)等欧几里德几何元素的特征。小说与绘画、雕塑和建筑等空间艺术之间的关系构成了小说空间二级错觉的第二种功能,即“虚拟空间性”。小说场景与绘画取景之间、人物塑造与雕塑体积之间、以及小说结构与建筑功能形态之间的关联,均是小说虚拟空间性的具体体现。最后,小说文本还能够产生一种具有生成同一空间性的动力场,使文本生成和文本诠释成为可能。本文首先将把小说空间方法论的发展定位在艺术、哲学和文学理论的语境中,从梳理古、现代最重要的空间符号理念入手,对西方小说空间功能的研究渊源和研究现状进行简单的综述；接着将主要以热奈特、托多罗夫、特尼亚诺夫、托马舍夫斯基、什克洛夫斯基、朗格等语言文学符号学理论和詹姆斯、布托尔、弗兰克等小说功能理论为指导,选取具有代表性的文本,分别围绕着小说空间二级错觉的三个核心功能——“几何空间性”、“虚拟空间性”和“生成同一空间性”——对小说空间功能进行具体的分析。最后将进一步明确空间性对于小说创作和诠释的重要性。
[Abstract]:Space is one of the two indispensable factors in time and space of any novel. The space of the novel is naturally composed of language symbols, so it has unique language attributes and artistic functions. For a long time, in the field of foreign literary research in our country, most narrative researchers prefer the obvious timeliness of western novels, but relatively ignore the expression and function of their spatial symbols. However, in order to make a more comprehensive discussion of western novels, it is necessary to make a systematic study of the spatial functions of the language symbols, structural forms and internal meanings of the novels from the perspective of linguistic and cultural semiotics. This paper will explain that space is the two-level illusion of the effective operation of the novel text. The secondary illusion of novel space means the use of various spatial elements to realize, supplement and develop the time essence of novel. There are three functional manifestations of the second level illusion in novel space. The first is "geometric space", which embodies "point" (such as "viewpoint character", single plot, symbolic word, theme, etc.), "line" (such as "lifting character", narration "thread", etc.) and "surface" (such as superimposed plane). The characteristics of Euclidean geometric elements such as variable costructure, helix structure, etc. The relationship between novel and space art such as painting, sculpture and architecture constitutes the second function of the second illusion of novel space, that is, "virtual space". The relationship between novel scene and painting scene, between character shaping and sculpture volume, as well as between novel structure and architectural function form, is the concrete embodiment of novel virtual space. Finally, the novel text can also produce a dynamic force field with the same space, which makes text generation and text interpretation possible. First of all, this paper will position the development of novel spatial methodology in the context of art, philosophy and literary theory, starting with combing the most important concept of spatial symbols in ancient and modern times. This paper briefly summarizes the research origin and present situation of the spatial function of western novels. Then it will be guided by the semiotics of language and literature such as Genette, Todorov, Tenanov, Tomasevsky, Shkrovsky, Langer and James, Butor, Frank and other novels. The representative texts are selected to analyze the spatial function of the novel around the three core functions of the spatial illusion of the novel, namely, "geometric space", "virtual space" and "generating the same space". Finally, the importance of space for novel creation and interpretation will be further clarified.
