“回到声音”的口头诗学：以口传史诗的文本研究为起点

“Oral Poetics Returns to the Voice”: To Start with Analysis on Oral Epic Text

"口头诗学"(oral poetics)作为一个出现未久的批评方向,其专属的术语体系和理论方法,尚需作出系统的梳理。特别是,口头诗学与文学界常说的"诗学"之间是什么关系,也较少见到深入系统的讨论。不过,晚近国际人文学术的发展,尤其是口头传统研究的深入,已从若干方面为口头诗学的登堂入室,作了大量准备。本文以口传史诗的文本研究为主线,从学术史的角度讨论口头诗学的演成、发展及其理论模型。

Oral Poetics is a recently emerged label coveting those research works differentiating themselves methodologically from traditional poetics generating from written literature and focusing on understanding and in- terpreting oral literature, or verbal arts in general in somewhat different terms and methods. Though not widely ad- mitted in literary circle, the recent development of studies on oral tradition, communication technology, folkloris- tics, anthropology, and cultural critique, has laid down a foundation for the appearance of oral poetics. The present paper intends to follow up the evolution and theoretical model of oral poetics based on analyzing oral epic text.
