论汪曾祺《大淖记事》的叙事空间

On the Narrative Space of Wang Zengqi’s A Tale of Big Nur

汪曾祺的小说《大淖记事》延续五四以来的抒情性传统,在主流文学之外建构起另类的叙事空间。基于加布里尔·佐伦的叙事空间理论,划分出小说多个层次的空间,并发掘空间对于叙事的作用和意义:一是地志空间的抒情性建构,二是不同时空体空间达成和谐,三是文本空间的反戏剧化,最终,提升至整体的叙事空间,封闭的“桃源”空间却指向文学史的开放空间。

Wang Zengqi’s novella A Tale of Big Nur continues the lyrical tradition since the May Fourth Movement,constructing an alternative narrative space outside the mainstream literature.Based on the narrative space theory of Gabriel Zoran,this paper divides the novel into multiple levels of space and explores the function and significance of space in narrative:firstly,constructing the lyrical topographical space;secondly,achieving harmony between different chronotopic spaces;thirdly,realizing anti-dramatization of textual space;and finally,elevating to the overall narrative space i.e.the enclosed“Xanadu”space turning to the open-ended space of literary history.
