《斯坦纳、普鲁斯特、伍尔芙及福克纳的叙事形式与混沌理论》述评

A Review of Narrative Form and Chaos Theory in Sterne,Proust,Woolf,and Faulkner

自20世纪80年代以来,随着来自自然科学领域的混沌理论的影响日益加大,西方文学批评界已有不少学者尝试将混沌理论运用于文学批评之中,并取得了一定成果。然而,国内对这方面的研究关注不多,因此本文拟将国外文学批评界这方面的最新专著之一——《斯坦纳、普鲁斯特、伍尔芙及福克纳的叙事形式与混沌理论》（Narrative Form and Chaos Theory in Sterne,Proust,Woolf,and Faulkner,2007）进行介绍,并简要评论之,以引起国内文学批评界对此跨学科研究领域的更多关注和思考。

Since 1980s,with the influence of chaos theory from natural science,attempts by Western literary critics have been made to apply chaos theory into literary criticism,which has crystallized into some fruits. However,Chinese scholars in literary criticism have seldom paid attention to this field.Hence,the present paper purports to introduce the main contents of one of the newest books in this regard,Narrative Form and Chaos Theory in Sterne,Proust,Woolf,and Faulkner（ 2007）,and make a brief comment on it,so as to attract more attention and deeper thinking from Chinese literary critics on these trans-disciplinary studies.
