始于象征:洛特曼的艺术文本生成机制研究

Beginning with the Symbol: Lotman’s Research on the Generation Mechanism of the Artistic Text

尤里·洛特曼的文学符号学的核心是探寻艺术文本生成机制的奥秘,其研究不以描述文学文本的内容为重心,而旨在模拟文本的生成机制。本文选取洛特曼有关艺术文本生成机制的相关论述,论证艺术创作如何通过象征,进入虚构叙事,最后指向一个更大的象征——一种深远辽阔、可多重阐释的意义,以此阐明洛特曼文学符号学的启示意义。

The core of Yuri Lotman’s literary semiotics is to explore the mystery of the generation mechanism of the artistic text. Its research does not focus on describing the content of the artistic text itself, but on simulating its generation mechanism. Selecting Lotman’s relevant discussions on the generation mechanism of the artistic text, this paper demonstrates how the artistic creation enters fictional narration through the symbol, and finally points to a larger symbol—a kind of far-reaching, vast and multi-interpretable meaning so as to clarify the enlightening significance of Lotman’s literary semiotics.
