空间形式小说的意义生成机理研究

A Study of Meaning-Generating Mechanism of Spatial-Form Fiction

探究空间形式小说的意义生成机理有助于理解这类小说的意义机制和现代小说的美学形式,为构建空间叙事理论提供依据。场景、意识流叙事、意象和文体技巧是四类核心意义单元。场景建构是作者表达瞬时经验的手段。意识流叙事、意象和文体技巧将场景构成要素转化为象征代码,将场景转化为意象性空间,创造融物质性和超越性于一体的艺术形象。空间形式小说意义单元的组织法则与音乐对位法相通。同类型意义单元顺时分布在叙述时间中,以重复、转接、并置等方式相关联,生成独立主题线索。不同类型意义单元依托同时性时间意识,同步行进于故事时间中,以因果、对照、反讽等方式相关联。意义单元的相互作用营造出“映现效果”,其内在机制是“历史化”。

Exploring meaning-generating mechanism of spatial-form fiction helps to understand meaning mechanism of such novels,the aesthetic forms of modern fiction,and provides a basis for spatial narrative theory.Scenes,stream-of-consciousness narratives,imagery,and stylistic techniques are the four core categories of meaning-units.Scene-making is a literary means for creators to express individual's ongoing life experiences.Stream-of-consciousness narrative,imagery,and stylistic techniques can transform constituent elements of scenes into symbolic codes,scenes into imaginative spaces,and create images that blend materiality and transcendence.The organizational laws of meaning-units in spatial-form fiction are similar to musical counterpoint.Meaning-units of the same type are distributed chronologically in narrative time and are related by repetition,transitions,and juxtaposition,which can generate independent thematic clues.Different types of meaning-units are governed by simultaneity time consciousness and synchronously march in story time,related by causality,contrast,and irony.The interplay of meaning-units creates a"reflecting effect,"the mechanismof which is"historicization."
