Abstract

Abstract Description and experience of the form of landscape are the core of geographical methodology and are explicitly theorized in humanist geography, particularly by Edward Relph. This essay outlines how his ideas about “seeing, thinking, and describing” – particularly the primacy of description – are relevant to a reformation for how narratologists handle the relationship between fiction and environment. Though the narratologist deals with reading and analyzing descriptions rather than producing descriptions as the geographer does, the phenomenological relationship between self, environment, and description of the latter can curiously expand what we normally think of as the reader-text dyad in the former. This new perspective is put into practice by studying three examples from American novels that offer descriptions of the environment from above.
空间描述:地理与叙事形式
景观形式的描述和体验是地理学方法论的核心,在人文主义地理学中得到了明确的理论化,尤其是爱德华·莱尔夫。这篇文章概述了他关于“观察、思考和描述”的观点——尤其是描述的首要地位——如何与叙事学家如何处理小说与环境之间关系的改革相关。虽然叙事学家处理的是阅读和分析描述,而不是像地理学家那样产生描述,但自我、环境和对后者的描述之间的现象学关系,可以奇怪地扩展我们通常认为的前者中的读者-文本二元关系。本文通过对美国小说中三个从上面描写环境的例子的研究,将这一新的视角付诸实践。
