跨媒介的故事讲述及其相关叙事学命题

Transmedia Storytelling and Its Relevant Narratological Issues

跨媒介叙事研究是叙事学先驱者们在建构这门学科时所包含的一个项目,对叙事学和媒介研究均有裨益。在辨析了叙事学研究长期存在的媒介盲视问题以及跨媒介叙事研究遭遇障碍的原因后,提出建构具有媒介意识的叙事学不仅是要把媒介纳入叙事研究的范畴,调整或更新现有的叙事理论体系和概念,而且还要关注跨媒介之于叙事研究提出的新命题,即在宏观层面涉及叙事本质的叙事性以及在微观层面涉及诸如叙事时间、空间、人物等要素的叙事学命题。

Transmedia narrative was supposed to be an essential part embraced by narratology when early narratologists began to develop this discipline,and it was considered beneficial to both narratology and media studies.This paper examines the issues of media blindness and proposes for a media-conscious narratology.It argues that such a narratology not only needs to incorporate media into the scope of narrative study,adjust or update the existing theoretical frame of narrative but also deal with some newly emerged issues such as narrativity at the macro level and transmedia time,space,characters and other narrative elements at the micro level.
