空间问题的凸显与空间叙事学的兴起

The Emergence of Spatial Problems and the Rise of Spatial Narratology

自20世纪80年代开始,空间问题的重要性日益凸显,这既表现在理论层面,也表现在实践层面。如果说,理论家的概括宣布了"空间转向"时代真正到来的话,那么,小说家的探索则昭示着这一"转向"其实早就开始。事实上,在空间思想方面,理论家们正是从作家们对"空间性"的探索中,获得了无穷的启示。伴随着人文社会科学研究的"空间转向",作为一门学科的空间叙事学正在目前叙事学研究热潮中悄然兴起。

Spatial problems have been increasingly significant since 1980s, which have manifestations from both theoretical level and the practical one. If the theoreticians＇ generalization announces the true coming of the age of ＂spatial turn＂, the exploration of the novelists made it clear to all that this ＂turn＂ virtually started early. As to spatial thoughts, in fact, it＇s from the writers＇ probe into ＂spatiality＂ that theoreticians have gained infinite revelations. With the ＂spatial turn＂ in the studies on humanities and social science , spatial narratology as a discipline, is on a quiet rise in the upsurge of the current narratological studies.
