从“历史”和“叙事”出发——“新历史小说”研究问题概说

From the Angles of"History"and"Narrative"——on the Research Questions of the New History Novel

"新历史小说",自生成之日起就存在着命名、指认等一系列问题上的争议,这一现象的出现,除了与其自身内涵和外延的不确定性有关之外,还与认知的视角和理论的转换密不可分。本文从概念述析和阶段演变的角度出发,渐次过渡到"历史"和"叙事"的问题。鉴于域外存在的理论背景,当代中国的"新历史小说"问题研究必须强调叙事的维度和历史的关联等侧面,而上述内容,正是认识这一现象的逻辑起点。

Since the beginning of the New History Novel, there have been some disputes over a series of questions such as its name and identity. These disputes were not only closely related to its uncertain connotation and extension, but also its cognitive viewpoint and theory transformation. This paper, from the viewpoints of the concept analyzing and stage evolving, gradually analyzes the questions of ＂History＂ and ＂Narrative＂. In view of the external theory, the research of the new history novel in China has to focus on its narrative latitude and history relations etc. These will become the logical starting point to the understanding of phenomenon.
