固本开新,钩沉致远——2020年度中国叙事学发展报告

2020年见证了中国叙事学研究向纵深推进的良好态势。一方面,我国叙事学人继续保持对当代叙事学前沿理论资源的引介与吸收,而且在梳理和批判中展开了学术史建构维度的探索。另一方面,学者们持续推进叙事理论的基础工程建设,不断加强理论概念在中外文学创作场域的穿透力,为实现研究范式的突围打下稳固的理论根基。此外,我国叙事学研究者还在中西参照的广阔视域中回溯传统,对本土叙事素材和思想资源加以开掘,赋予叙事研究以鲜明的中国特色和强劲的发展动能。本文呼吁中国叙事学研究者在保持开放心态的同时,加快推进中国学术走出去,为国际学界贡献中国学者的优秀学术成果。

The year 2020 witnessed a further advancement of narrative studies in China.First and foremost,Chinese scholars embarked upon a diachronic exploration of Western academic history with a critical eye,while sustaining their introduction to and assimilation of what constitutes the frontiers of narrative studies.In addition,they undertook a theoretical enterprise through reflecting on the basics,which serves to sharpen the conceptual toolkits in relation to literary creations both at home and abroad,and to lay a solid foundation for the new research paradigm to emerge.With a broad comparative vision,scholars resorted to their ancient predecessors and capitalized upon ancient Chinese narrative works as well as theoretical conceptualizations,which imbues domestic narrative studies with Chinese characteristics and great impetus to move on.Given what has been accomplished last year,this article calls on Chinese narrative theorists,with their open-mindedness unabated,to further promote their academic achievements and contribute a Chinese perspective to the international academia.
