认知诗学视域下“情绪”的多模态转喻构建——以几米绘本《时光电影院》为例

在多模态文学语篇如绘本中,故事内人物的各类情绪鲜用抒情词语直接表述,主要是运用色彩、图景等视觉空间元素,配以简约的叙事性文字,协同启用转隐喻映射机制,创造感同身受的情绪感知体验。本文首先以几米的绘本《时光电影院》为例,详述多模态情绪转喻的三种类型——情绪的生理效果代情绪、感知物代感知者情绪和外景代内情,继而从协同空间、转喻的多模态协同表征两个维度,提出多模态情绪转喻表征系统。我们还剖析了几米绘本中多模态转喻的涉身体验和民族文化动因。本文认为几米绘本的盛行在一定程度上归功于多模态转隐喻的巧妙运用,藉此激活读者的普遍性身体感知图式和民族性审美感知图式,得以把人物内心的情感感知世界外化并传递给读者,在引发读者人生体味和思考的同时,创造无以言说的审美体验。 

The Multimodal Metonymic Construction of Emotion in The Rainbow of Time: A Perspective of Cognitive Poetics

In muhimodal literary discourse, like picture books, characters＇ emotions are represented, rather than by expressive words, predominantly by visual spatial element such as colors and images which, collaborated with simple narrative text, act as triggers of metonymic and metaphorical mapping mechanisms, evoking empathic experience. Taking Jimmy＇s pictorial narrative book The Rainbow of Time as example, this paper starts with categorizing three types of muhimodal metonymies of emotion： PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT FOR EMOTION, OBJECT PERCEIVED FOR EMOTION, SCENERY FOR EMOTION, followed by generalizing the overarching system of muhimodal metonymy of emotion at two dimensions： the collaborative space and synergy of multimtwlal metonymy. It goes further to explore the universal embodiment foundation and specific cultural motivation for the muhimodal metonymies in Jimmy＇ s book. The popularity of Jimmy＇ s picture hooks, to some extent, attributes to the ingenious use of multimodal metonymy as well as metaphor, thereby to activate the universal cognitive mechanism and cultural aesthetic schema, creating indescribable aesthetic experience.
