当下,文学叙事研究是一个充满活力的多样化活动,它以多种研究方法为特征。就这些方法而言,目前有五个研究论题特别显著:非模仿叙事、数字叙事、真实与虚构之分、叙事空间以及修辞美学等。修辞美学不是走向判断文学质量高低的普遍标准,而是走向理解叙事如何以自己的条件起作用,走向理解那些被恰当地用来判断叙事条件的标准。雷蒙·钱德兰的小说《沉睡》的结尾与霍华德·霍克斯将小说改编为电影的结尾的比较表明,这些标准不仅仅是关于美学的,而且还涉及形式、伦理、美学之间的相互关系。 Nowadays, literary narrative research is a vibrant and diversified activity characterized by a variety of research methods. In terms of these methods, there are currently five research topics of particular significance: non-mimetic narrative, digital narrative, the distinction between true and fiction, narrative space, and rhetorical aesthetics. Rhetorical aesthetics is not a universal standard for judging the quality of literature, but is to understand how narratives function on their own terms and to understand the standards that are properly used to judge narrative conditions. A comparison of the end of Raymond Chandran’s novel Sleeping and the adaptation of Howard Hawks’s adaptation of the novel to the end of the film shows that these standards are not only about aesthetics but also about the relationship between form, ethics and aesthetics Interrelationship.
