摘要
《煲老鸭》是笔者新发现的一部晚清稀见通俗小说,国内外各大图书馆均未收藏。文章以此书为例,着重阐述了小说何以插图、插图如何叙事、插图如何可能等三个问题。《煲老鸭》中的插图不仅是为了吸引读者的注意力,引起读者的审美愉悦,而且可以让观者在最短的时间内迅速了解小说的基本内容,进行"闪读",促其尽快购买。《煲老鸭》中插图作为空间性的绘画在突破时间性的束缚上有如下叙述策略:连续性绘画、图目说明、时间点选择、心理叙事、情节改造。图像并非小说场面的真实再现,而是作者受其"所知"主导的重构过程。插图之所以具有对文本的互文性功能,是因为词语与图形皆属于符号,因此,二者就具有了同构性和互补性。
Stewing Old Duck is a popular novel of the late Qing Dynasty the present author recently discovered,a rare book not collected in libraries at home and abroad.Based on the case study of this book,this paper elaborates how a novel narratews with illustrations and what makes illustrations possible.Illustrations in Stewing Old Duck were made not only to attract readers＇ attention and bring them aesthetic pleasure,but also to help readers skim for the basic content of the novel and make quick decisions for purchase.Spatial painting in Stewing Old Duck used the following narrative strategies to break through temporal bound： the continuity of pictures,explanation for pictures,selection of time points,psychological narration,and plot transformation.Pictures in the novel are not the representation of scenes of the novel,but rather the author＇s reconstruction process.The intertextuality between the text and the illustrations lies in the fact that words and graphic are both symbols,which accounts for their being isomorphic and complementary to each other.
