儿童文学叙事中的权力与对话——一个后经典叙事学视角的研究

儿童文学是作者(成人)与读者(儿童)对话交流的中介,儿童文学本身所具有的跨学科的文化特性使文本与存在的外部语境形成了密切联系。因此要研究儿童文学的叙事特色,必须结合文本语境研究。20世纪80年代以来西方兴起的后经典叙事学理论为重新审视儿童文学叙事提供了很好的思路。儿童文学的特殊性使作者与读者形成复杂的权力关系,同时,作者与读者、成人与儿童又努力在这种权力关系中寻找不同的对话途径和表达方式。这种复杂的叙事语境直接决定了儿童文学文本的叙事特色。

Power and Dialogue in the Narration of Children's Literature: A Perspective of Postclassical Narratology

Children's literature is the bridge for the communication between author and reader. Text has close relations with context due to the cultural characteristics of children's literature; therefore, it is necessary to combine text and context to study the narrative features of children's literature. Postclassical narratology rising in 1980s in western world provides solid base for reexamining the narration of children's literature. The author insists that the complicated relationships of power between author and reader come into being for the particularity of children's literature and the complex narrative context directly determines the narrative features of children's literature's text.
