文本世界理论视域下《沈从文传》的传记艺术研究

On the biographic art of The Odyssey of Shen Congwen from the perspective of text world theory

美国学者金介甫创作的《沈从文传》不仅是一部人物传记,更是一部湘西解放史、作家成长史。通过认知诗学的"文本世界"理论关照,本文发现金介甫《沈从文传》的传记艺术主要表现为三种不同文本世界的建构,即:以历史叙事为主要策略的"语篇世界"建构,保障了传记的可靠性;以第三人称全知视角叙事为主要策略的"文本世界"建构,保障了传记读者的可及性;以横向推进为主要叙事策略的"次文本世界"建构,保障了传记的可读性。

The Odyssey of Shen Congwen by the American scholar Jeffrey C.Kinkley is not only a biography,but also a history of the liberation of western Hunan and the growth of the writer Shen Congwen.Based on the text world theory of cognitive poetics,this article points out that the biographical art of The Odyssey of Shen Congwen is mainly manifested in the construction of three different text worlds,namely:the construction of discourse world with historical narration as the main narrative strategy to guarantee the reliability of the biography;the construction of the text world with the third-person narration of omniscience as the main narrative strategy to guarantee the accessibility of the readers;the construction of the sub-text world with the horizontal narration as the main narrative strategy to guarantee the readability of the biography.
