实境·幻境·空境——《雪国》三元空间叙事探析

Reality,Illusion,and Emptiness: On the Three Spatial Dimensions of Narratives in Snow Country

空间与时间是不可分割的统一体,但是由于种种原因,长期以来叙事学研究的焦点是叙事作品的时间维度,而忽略了空间维度,其实在叙事研究中对空间维度的研究同样重要。空间在叙事作品中可以参与叙事和影响叙事。川端康成正是在《雪国》中通过书写第一空间———"实境"、第二空间———"虚境"以及第三空间———"空境"来传达对生命的思考和憧憬的。

Space and time are inseparably united, but because of various reasons, the focus of the study of narratology has long been on the time dimension rather than on the space dimension of the nar-rative works. However, research on space dimension in the study of narratology is of equal importance. Space might play a role in involving and affecting the narration of narrative works. Therefore, Yasunari Kawabata conveys in Snow Country his thoughts and hopes towards life through depicting the three di- mensions, i.e. , ＂reality＂ , ＂illusion＂, and ＂emptiness＂.
