张爱玲《传奇》的空间叙事

The Spatial Narrative of Eileen Chang's The Legend

张爱玲的《传奇》用空间书写的方式建立痴女怨女与都市哀乐的联系,写尽了上海和香港市民的普通“传奇”。《传奇》的空间形态分为场景虚幻空间、故事意义空间、心理空间。张爱玲空间叙事的策略极具张力,参差对照,是“启示性”而非“完成性”的。读者从空间叙事的角度可以更加透彻感受张爱玲笔下的两座城以及张爱玲的独特笔法。

Eileen Chang's The Legend establishes the relationship between the spoony and grumbling females and the city's sadness and joy by means of spatial writing technique,and makes full use of the ordinary"legends"of Shanghai and Hong Kong citizens.The spatial form of The Legend can be divided into scene illusory space,story meaning space and psychological space.Chang's spatial narrative strategy is of great tension and uneven contrast,which is"revelatory"rather than"complete".From the perspective of spatial narration,readers can more thoroughly feel the two cities in Eileen Chang's works and her unique brushwork.
