用媒介思维:数字叙事学的研究进路

Thinking with the Medium: Approaching Digital Narratology

从媒介性、模态性、互动性三个侧面可以对叙事媒介进行描述。为探讨数字媒介的叙事潜力,需要将叙事理论与媒介技术进行对接。办法是对叙事学的基本范畴做数学阐释,以便适应数字媒介的算法逻辑。数字叙事学的符号机制是模拟,同时也隐含了与经典叙事学不同的政治学含义。

Narrative media can be described in terms of mediality, modality and interactivity. To approach the narrative potential of digital media, narrative theory has to be articulated with media technology. A solution lies in the mathematical interpretation of narratological categories in terms of algorithm of digital media. The semiosis of digital narratology is simulation, which implies a politics different from that in classical narratology.
