延搁与重构:身体叙事学建构的诗学逻辑

Delay and Reconstruction:The Poetic Logic of the Construction of Corporeal Narratology

本土“身体叙事”未涉及对“叙事”的自反性重构,但对“身体”之叙事功能有一定程度的认知与反思,这一偏重文化实践的功能性概念可视作身体叙事学的前理论形态。身体叙事学之建构被长期延搁,部分源自于学界对身体/叙事(学)两大元素间矛盾张力的漠视与无措。对“身体”与经典“叙事”的再概念化,是丹尼尔·潘代建构身体叙事学的基本路径。丹尼尔·潘代对“身体”的再概念化是通过历史化来达成的。其对“身体”的重释意在克服对象化“身体”的理论局限,进而将“身体”嵌入到身体叙事学的建构语序中。“叙事”(学)之重心落在形式运用而非故事元素上,这一倾向形成的内在原因在于,叙事学研究者并不知道如何去研究这些要素(如“身体”)。丹尼尔·潘代在批判性反思传统叙事学的基础上完成身体叙事学之重构,其理论兼顾“身体”“叙事”两个维面,是叙述之“是什么”(what)与“如何”(how)的有机结合。

The native“body narrative”does not involve the reflexive reconstruction of“narrative”,but has a certain degree of cognition and reflection on the narrative function of“body”.This functional concept,which pays more attention to cultural practice,can be regarded as the pre-theoretical form of Corporeal Narratology.The construction of Corporeal Narratology has been delayed for a long time,which is partly due to the indifference and confusion of the contradictory tension between the two elements of body/narrative.The re-conceptualization of“body”and classic“narrative”is the basic way for Daniel Punday to construct Corporeal Narratology.Daniel Punday’s re-conceptualization of“body”is achieved through historicization.Its reinterpretation of“body”is intended to overcome the theoretical limitation of objectifying“body”,and then embed“body”into the constructive order of Corporeal Narratology.Narratology focuses on the use of form rather than story elements.The inherent reason for the formation of this tendency is that narratology researchers do not know how to study these elements(such as“body”).Daniel Punday completes the reconstruction of Corporeal Narratology on the basis of critical reflection on traditional narratology.His theory takes into account the two dimensions of“body”and“narrative”,which is the organic combination of“what”and“how”.
