普罗普的故事形态学及列维·斯特劳斯的批评

V.Propp's Morphology of the Folktale and Levi.Strauss's Criticism

普罗普的故事形态学研究强调了系统描写相对于发生学研究的优先性。然而其角色和功能分析取消了内容成分 ,导致了文本的极端缩减。 2 0世纪 60年代 ,列维·斯特劳斯针对普罗普的方法问题撰文申明结构与形式的差异 ,指出了普罗普故事研究中的形式主义因素特征。他认为形式主义的困境在于它不能重构其本身由以出发的经验。就口承文化传统研究而言 ,普罗普的故事形态学及斯特劳斯的批评在对民间叙事作品的描述与分类及文本与语境的关系等问题上给人以多方启示。普罗普试图捕捉内在于民间故事的自治原则 ,而斯特劳斯则试图发现隐匿于作品 (如神话 )

V.Propp emphasized the priority of Systematic description relative to Genetics in his Morphological study of folktale. However his Dramatic Personae & Function analysis abrogated the contents of folktale, and led to extreme curtailments of text. In the 1960's, Levi.Strauss bewrited to avow the difference between structure and form in allusion to Propp's method. He pointed out formalistic ingredients in Propp's folktale study. Strauss considered that the puzzledom of Formalism rest with its incapability to reconstruct the experience from which it depart. For oral tradition research, V.Propp's morphology of the folktale and Levi. Strauss's criticism presented allround apocalypses, such as in the issues of description & classification of folk narratire works as well as in the relation between text and context.propp tried to catch the autonomec principles inhernt to folkale, whereas Levi.Strauss strived to dig out the ideal types sheltered behind text such as myth.
