学术史视域下中国叙事文化学研究的得与失

The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Study on Chinese Narrative Culture from the Perspective of Academic History

中国叙事文化学是针对以小说戏曲为主的中国古代叙事文学研究提出并实践的一种新方法。这一研究范式以故事类型为研究中国叙事文学的出发点,在梳理中国叙事文学故事类型的基础上,对其中重要个案类型做系统深入研究。相关理论提出和实践前后历经近三十年,已基本上形成了比较完整的研究体系,产生了一批研究成果。尽管经过长期的操作实践证明这一范式具有学理性和可行性,但从全面调整和更新20世纪以来中国叙事文学研究“西学中用”研究范式的格局上看,显然还有漫长的路要走。

The Study on Chinese Narrative Culture aims at offering a new approach to studies about the traditional Chinese narrative literature which mainly concerns novels and dramas.This paradigm starts with the categories of stories for studying Chinese narrative literature,and focuses on the significant cases based on the categorization of stories in it.Related theories have been proposed and practiced for nearly thirty years and have already formed a relatively complete research system as well as produced considerable research results.Although such paradigms have been practiced for a long time and are academically feasible,it still has a long way to go in terms of adjusting and updating the research paradigm of“Chinese Values as Subjects with Supplementary Western Conceptions”in the study of Chinese narrative literature since the 20th century.
