小说的本体特性探略

Writing Realistically or Fictitiously

从小说的源头、兴起以及现实主义、现代派小说的发展轨迹,考察小说的本体特性;指出作为观念形态的小说,以语言的形式呈现,符号化的存在决定着小说对自身文本世界的创造与虚构,而不是“简单地”复制生活;得出了小说的本体特性是虚构,而不是写实的结论。

Studying from the origin, rise of novels as well as the development of realism and modern novels, the writer has found out that writing fictitiously rather than realistically is the ontology of novel. Reflecting social ideology and existing in the form of language, the symbolic existence of novels has also proved that novels have been creating or writing fictitiously instead of copying the real life within its own literary world.
