小说与历史是两种讲故事的方式。长期以来,人们关注到了两者间的你中有我、我中有你的复杂性关系,但未能从文化记忆的理论方面着手,来进一步讨论两者的内在联系。事实上,只有从“文化记忆”的视野入手,我们才能真正理解小说与历史的相互作用;从而对作为一种文化记忆的叙事的审美功能,也有一种更新的认识。 Fiction and history are two ways to tell a story. For a long time, people have noticed that you have me in between, and I have your complex relationship, but I have not been able to discuss the internal relations of the two from the theoretical aspects of cultural memory. In fact, only from the perspective of “cultural memory” can we truly understand the interaction between novels and history. Therefore, we also have a new understanding of the aesthetic functions of narrative as a kind of cultural memory.
