“传奇”不奇——沈从文小说《医生》的叙事与修辞

The Decline of Legend——Narrative and Rhetoric of Shen Congwen's Short Story Yi Sheng

本文试图细读沈从文的短篇小说《医生》,并以《三个男子和一个女人》作为对读与参照,讨论在对同一本事的不同改写中,沈从文如何以叙事作为修辞,以精心设计的叙事者、叙事速度,以及"说故事"情境的营造讲述出面貌截然不同的故事,而最终小说内外之间的张力使得作者将"恋尸"叙事又复拆解,"‘传奇’不奇"折射出文学场域对作家创作生态的影响。

This paper tries to peruse Shen Congwen＇s short story Yi Sheng and San Ge Nan Zi He Yi Ge Nv Ren in a comparing way, to figure out that from different rewritings about the same story prototype, how can Sben Congwen succeed to use narration as the rhetoric of fiction to represent readers entirely different stories. And finally, the tension between the intra and inter-systems of story makes the author to disintegrate ＂necrophilia＂ narrative which he builds in text. ＂The Decline of Legend＂ reflects how the literary field influences writer＇s creation.
