挪亚洪水神话的情节建构

The Text Construction of Noah's Flood

根据底本假说,圣经洪水神话由J、P两个底本构成。通常认为编修合并两个底本的过程造就了《创世纪》中洪水神话的重复叙事。若想更深入地探索《创世纪》中的洪水叙事,势必要细致划分其情节单元,构建叙事链条。故而,我们提出相应的情节单元划分准则,并在此基础上充分比较两个底本的情节链条,分析其中的核心叙事、不稳定叙事及意义空置现象,并探索文本的编辑策略和建构方式。

According to the Documentary Hypothesis,the flood myth of Bible consists of two different sources,J Source and P Source.It is generally accepted that the process of compiling and combining this two sources creates a repetitive narrative of the deluge myth in Genesis.If we want to explore the Genesis flood narrative more deeply,it is necessary to carefully divide its motifs and construct the narrative chain of J Source and P Source.Therefore,we put forward the corresponding way to divide those motifs,and based on this,we fully compare the narrative chain of the two sources,analyze the core narratives,the unstable narratives and the phenomenon of“vacancy of meaning”,and then explore the text editing strategies and text construction methods.
