本書以斯特恩的代表作《項狄傳》為對象,研究了作者超越時代并對現(xiàn)代主義與后現(xiàn)代主義都產(chǎn)生過深遠影響的狂歡化敘事藝術(shù)的魅力。狂歡化敘事藝術(shù)的本質(zhì)在于顛覆。《項狄傳》顛覆了情節(jié),質(zhì)疑了語言的穩(wěn)定性,但顛覆并不意味著消極的破壞與災(zāi)難性的混亂,它自有一套隱秘的內(nèi)在規(guī)則,引導(dǎo)并制約著小說敘事的走向。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),在同質(zhì)性格的引力下,空間一體的敘事與情節(jié)、情節(jié)與人物,表面雜亂無章,實則勾連有序。狂歡化的敘事藝術(shù)似音樂。
