英雄之旅的叙述动力与元化特质

The Narrative Motivation and Meta-characteristics of the Hero’s Journey

英雄之旅是好莱坞电影的常规叙述模式,该模式源于美国著名比较神话学家约瑟夫·坎贝尔所提出的关于英雄探险的元神话。否定与变身是英雄之旅的叙述动力,多重思想传统使其具有了元符号性,而内在旅程揭示出探险英雄所具有的超越性元意识。此外,运用叙述模式的电影组成奇特的文本库,其在整个文化中的功能值得关注。

The"hero’s journey"is a conventional narrative model in Hollywood movies,related to the concept of "monomyth " proposed by the famous American comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell.Negation and transformation are the narrative motivations of the hero’s journey,which is endowed with meta-semioticity by multiple ideological traditions;the inner journey reveals the transcendental meta-consciousness of the hero in the adventure.In addition,it is worth paying attention to the function of the particular textual library created by movies in the narrative mode within the overall cultural context.
