神话叙事批评传统发微:概念生成与批评实践

A Study of Mythical Narrative Tradition:From Methodological Origin to Criticizing Practice

近年来,无论作为文学创作倾向抑或作为理论关键词,神话叙事已然演化为研究热点。作为西方学界流播而至的外来词,神话叙事及其批评传统的理论生成有较为驳杂的学理背景,更在不同时期构成了繁复的批评表征。耙梳、厘整西方学界神话叙事概念及其理论的生成谱系,并综论其主要批评成果,辨识其成就与问题,可以为推进我国神话叙事研究向纵深发展提供思路。

Recently,no matter regarded as a literary writing trend or as a theoretic keyword,mythical/mythological narrative has been taken as the hotspot in the field of narrative study.Nevertheless,being an extraneous term that comes from western academia,while generating kaleidoscope-like products during different periods,mythical/mythological narrative shares some intricate methodological backgrounds in its theoretic origin,in the formation of its criticism tradition,even in the coinage of the term itself.It’ll be significant and beneficial for Chinese mythical/mythological narrative study to review the western counterpart by synthesizing its research results,pointing out its problems and showing the changing trends.
