摘要
关于波丹探险队的历史记述--《南半球大地探险记》(Voyage de découvertes aux Terres Australes)--引起了评论界的广泛关注,特别是其主要作者、动物学家弗朗索瓦-贝隆(François Péron)将自己定位为叙述者和主角的方式。相比之下,由贝隆的合作者路易-弗雷西内特(Louis Freycinet)编纂的专门介绍探险队航海工作的《航海与地理》(Navigation et Géographie)却很少引起评论。毫无疑问,大量的技术内容掩盖了该书的故事情节,但作者选择从不同的角度重新审视远航叙事这一事实本身就极具意义。为了深入了解弗雷西内特的意图,我们研究了他在构建自己独特的叙事角色时所采用的各种策略。我们展示了他如何将自己与贝隆所采用的英雄-受害者策略拉开距离,首先是确立自己作为专业航海家和制图师的资质,其次是将自己定位为勤勉、冷静的国家利益服务者。
Navigating Career: Deciphering the Narrative Strategies in Louis Freycinet’s
Navigation et Géographie
(1815)
The historical account of the Baudin expedition, the
Voyage de découvertes aux Terres Australes
, has attracted considerable critical attention, notably for the way in which its lead author, the zoologist François Péron, positions himself as narrator and protagonist. In contrast, the companion volume devoted to the nautical work of the expedition,
Navigation et Géographie
, compiled by Péron’s collaborator Louis Freycinet, has aroused little by way of commentary. No doubt the abundance of technical content has obscured its storyline, yet the fact that the author has chosen to revisit the voyage narrative from a different standpoint is of great interest in itself. To gain insight into Freycinet’s intentions, we examine the various strategies he deploys as he proceeds to construct his own distinct narrative persona. We show how he distances himself from the hero-victim strategy adopted by Péron, first by establishing his credentials as a professional navigator and cartographer, and second by positioning himself as a diligent and dispassionate servant of the national interest.
