形象研究:范畴、复杂性、基点与方式

The Category,Complexity,Starting Points and Methodology of Image Studies

从文学形象学到比较文学形象学,再到形象研究,形象学经历了早期的文学与社会研究,后来的形象与幻象研究,到当代的形象与话语研究。形象学经历了文学史、诗学与权力话语三个不同的阶段,研究内容既注重总体分析也注重文本内部研究,既吸收了文化研究的模式,也突出了形象塑造与话语权利关系。基于此,形象研究的范畴、复杂性以及基点与方式的拓扑性质非常突出。

The development of imagology can be traced back to the study of literary imagery,comparative studies and iconology,which covers early research on literature and society,the study of image and illusion,and contemporary study of image and discourse. Imagology has developed through the three stages develop from literary history,poetics and power discourse,while the focus of its content balances between holistic analysis and textual studies,and its methodology makes use of the models of culture studies and also tries to highlight the relation between image construction and power discourse. Therefore,the remarkable aspect to be noted in image studies is the topological nature of the categories,complexity,starting points and methods in imagology.
