摘要:

长篇网络小说的作者们创造出各种新的叙事技术。“两个故事世界”是网络文学创新叙事技术之一,常常运用于玄幻小说的魔幻、奇幻、架空、穿越等网文子类型中,其特点是:作者为小说作品设计“两个故事世界”,一个是“前景故事世界”,一个是“背景故事世界”,通过“前景化”跨界叙事技术,使主人公超越人类的生命周期和人类的物种疆界,并将“背景故事世界”中的叙事要素“前推”至“前景故事世界”,构成驱动小说情节主线变化和转折的叙事动力,进而呈现为某种戏剧性或视像性叙事奇观。“两个故事世界”的“前景化跨界”,不仅是网络小说作者设计故事框架和配置情节的结构性驱动机制方面的类型化叙事技术,而且给传统叙事文学带来了划时代的挑战和创新,表征了具有网络时代特征的文学叙事的虚构想象空间与创意写作技术。

Abstract:

The writers of novels online created various new narrative techniques. "Two Story Worlds" is one of the innovative narrative techniques of online literature, which are often used in the sub-types of magic, fantasy, overhead, and crossovers of fantasy novels. Its characteristic is that the author designs "two story worlds" in creating novels. One is the "foreground story world" and the other is the "background story world". Through the "foregrounding" cross-border narrative techniques, the protagonist transcends the human life cycle and the human species boundary, and integrates the narrative elements in the "background story world" and pushes them forward to the "foreground story world", thus forming and exercising the narrative power that causes the changes and transitions of the main line of the novel's plot, and presenting a certain dramatic or visual narrative spectacle. The "foregrounding cross-border" of "two story worlds" is not only a typified narrative technique online novel authors employ to design story frames and configure the structural driving mechanism of the plot, but also brings epoch-making challenges and innovations to traditional narrative literature, which indicates the fictional imagination space and creative writing technology of literary narrative with the characteristics of the network era.
