社会科幻中的叙事思维与虚构物

Narrative Thinking and Fictional Object in the Social Science Fiction

围绕社会科幻的叙事思维和虚构物展开研究,试图追寻科幻作品的灵韵,探求其在审美性和娱乐性之外的意义。研究充实和完善了社会科幻这一既有的科幻子类型的定义,并且归纳出其内部的共性特征、划分出四种不同类型。社会科幻的叙事通过未来想象与思维实验的相互作用完成,借由“创世之举”和“蝴蝶效应”两种叙事模式,现实的人文社会议题被转化为科幻叙事。虚构的设计物将未来想象具象化,完善了科幻叙事所建构世界的细节。为了厘清社会科幻的价值观体系及其对现实的意义,追溯了社会科幻中两种叙事取向的历史渊源,以乌托邦到反乌托邦的当代视野来统摄社会科幻及其下的诸多附属概念,明确了社会科幻整体对现实的反思,以及其不同类型的建构性价值、批判性价值和思辨性价值。

The work aims to study the narrative thinking and fictional object in the social science fiction,trying to trace the spirit of science fiction works and exploring their significance beyond aesthetics and entertainment.The definition of social science fiction,an existing sub-genre of science fiction,is enriched and improved and its common characteristics are summarized and divided into four different categories.The narration of social science fiction is completed within the interactive relationship between future envisioning and thought experiments.The humanistic and social issues that point to reality are transformed into the narration of science fiction through two narrative modes,"the Genesis"and"the Butterfly Effect".Fictional design objects concretize future envisioning and improve the details of the fictional world which is constructed by science fiction narratives.In order to clarify the value system of social science fiction and its significance to reality,the historical origins of the two narrative orientations in social science fiction are traced,and the contemporary perspective from utopia to dystopia is used to arrange various subordinate concepts of social science fiction,figuring out the overall reflection of social science fiction on reality,as well as the constructive value,critical value and speculative value of its different categories.
