摘要
罗曼司的核心母题是冒险和爱情,本质上表现为文类与叙事策略的统一体。中世纪时期,罗曼司作为一种文类着重再现冒险、忠君、护教、行侠和求爱的骑士精神。后来,它逐渐转型为一种叙事策略,在文本内部表现为作者调节叙事节奏的修辞策略,在文本外部主要用来对抗文学形式附着的意识形态,传达一定的政治意识。20世纪通俗文学领域中的罗曼司主要指由女性作者创作的,故事聚焦女性人物并为女性读者服务,侧重描绘曲折爱情经历的一个小说亚类。
With adventure and love as core motifs,romance enjoys by nature a duality of genre and narrative strategy.During the medieval ages,romance as a genre emphasizes a representation of such chivalric codes of adventure,loyalty,faith,timely help and pursuit of love.Later on,romance transforms into a rhetoric strategy to tune up the narrative rhythm inside a text while outside to resist against the ideology inherent in literary forms and therefore as a vehicle of political consciousness.It further develops as a twentieth-century popular literary genre in which mostly female authors focus on female characters involved in often twisted love plots,aiming for female readers.
