浅析白先勇的上海书写——以套语理论为分析框架

Pai Hsien-yung's Account of Shanghai: The Application of the Theory of Formula

由口头传统研究发轫的套语理论在20世纪初被提出时,仅被运用于西方史诗传统的研究中,而后被衍伸扩大到《诗经》与"桃花源"的研究;套语理论亦可从研究口头传统,延伸至作家书写地方文化,体现地方氛围的范畴之中。白先勇写作时凭借其上海经验,联系预设读者群的文化记忆,在进行书写时运用诸多套语,以达到"文化招魂"的目的。

The theory of formula originates from the research in oral tradition at the beginning of 20th century, first applied to studying western epics. Later, it helped the study of Shih Ching and the Peach Blossom Spring. A1- so, the application of the theory of formula could he extended from oral traditions to the account of indigenous cul- tures and atmosphere. Pai Hsien-yung depends on his experience in Shanghai and connects it with the presup- posed readers＇ memories of culture. His use of plenty of formulas aims to recall the culture memories.
