苏珊·兰瑟的隐含作者观

Susan Lanser's Propositions on Implied Author

“隐含作者”是叙事学研究的核心概念,也是最具争议的话题之一,具有较高的使用率和学术研究价值。苏珊•兰瑟回应隐含作者争论的焦点和实质,廓清了隐含作者的相关命题,开拓了隐含作者研究的新领域。她将隐含作者的相关争议归纳为两点:一是这一概念是否有存在的必要,二是这一概念倾向于主体化还是文本化特征。在此基础上,兰瑟提出“隐含作者是不可知论”概念。除了强调作者建构和文本建构,隐含作者也具有认知倾向,由读者建构。兰瑟进而探索隐含作者的应用实践,关注女性主义叙事学视角下的隐含作者解析,以及第一人称叙事和匿名作品的隐含作者问题。
