摘要
作为研究后现代主义小说的一种主要范式,元小说目前引起批评界的重点关注。但作为一种自我意识小说的元小说,在西方文坛已经历过从传统到现代主义,再到后现代主义三个不同而相通的嬗变过程。本文以某些传统作家的作品,如康拉德的《黑暗的中心》以及加斯的《在中部地区的深处》等文本为个案展开分析,认为元小说的自我意识经历了从萌芽到发展再到分裂三种形态,试图从宏观上理解和把握元小说的性质。
As a main paradigm of the study of postmodernist fiction,metafiction is much discussed by critics nowadays.However,as a kind of self-conscious fiction,it experienced an evolution of three different but continuous stages in the Western literary arena：traditional,modernist and postmodernist fiction.With Joseph Conrad＇s Heart of Darkness,William Gass＇s In the Heart of the Heart of the Country as well as some traditional novels as case studies,the present article holds that there were seeds of selfconsciousness in traditional fiction,and that it was further developed in modernist fiction and reached its peak in postmodernist fiction.
