百年日本私小说研究评述

Japanese I-novel:A Review on Its One Centenary Studies

从"私小说"的概念产生至今,日本私小说的历史已有百年。百年中,围绕私小说的评论、研究从未间断过。"私小说研究"甚至成为一个独立的被研究对象,被称为"私小说评说",在私小说的嬗变中扮演着重要的角色。本文将日本百年来的私小说研究分为五个时期加以横向梳理和纵向评述,分析每个时期私小说研究的课题和特点,特别评述新世纪以来日本私小说研究的现状。通过梳理发现,私小说研究进入新世纪以来仍是日本文学研究中广为关注的课题,并开始进入全新的、多样化的研究时代;从叙事学与"自我"认知的角度探讨私小说仍是私小说研究的两大主题;从文化研究的角度重新探讨私小说的起源、历史,范畴、定义,理念、方法是私小说研究的新课题。

Since the term "I-novel" came into being,the history of Japanese I-novel has reached its one hundred years.During the period "I-novel Study" has remained active and even become an independent field,called "I-novel Comments",playing an important role in I-novel evolution.This paper attempts to divide the one hundred years' Japanese I-novel studies into five periods in order to sort,comment and analyze the subjects and features of the I-novel studies in each period,especially those after 1990s.The retrospection shows that I-novel study is still a subject of great interest in Japanese literary studies in the new century and has evolved into a newera of research with diversified perspectives.The probe into I-novel from the perspective of narratology and self-perception remain two major themes of I-novel studies,whereas the cultural studies on the origin,history,category,definition,creative concept and approach of I-novel become a new subject of I-novel studies.
