摘要

本文认为，文学研究中的大多数方法都明确强调细节，但暗地里却依赖于结构。本文转向结构主义，特别是弗拉基米尔·普罗普(Vladimir Propp)和克劳德·l vi-施特劳斯(Claude l vi- strauss)之间关于细节作用的辩论，寻求一种即使在关注细节的同时也能保持结构的方法。这篇文章认为结构主义方法可以有效地重塑现在的文学教学，并阅读了两部既依赖于传统童话模式又背离传统童话模式的小说:简·约伦的《蔷薇》(1992)和海伦·欧耶米的《男孩、雪、鸟》(2014)。

Structures All the Way Down: Literary Methods and the Detail

This essay makes the case that most methods in literary studies explicitly privilege the detail but covertly depend on structures. The article turns to structuralism, specifically to the debate between Vladimir Propp and Claude Lévi-Strauss about the role of the detail, for a method that keeps structures in view, even while focusing on details. Suggesting that structuralist methods could usefully reshape the teaching of literature now, the essay reads two novels that both depend on and depart from traditional fairy-tale patterns: Jane Yolen’s Briar Rose (1992) and Helen Oyeyemi’s Boy, Snow, Bird (2014).

期刊介绍： MLQ focuses on change, both in literary practice and within the profession of literature itself. The journal is open to essays on literary change from the Middle Ages to the present and welcomes theoretical reflections on the relationship of literary change or historicism to feminism, ethnic studies, cultural materialism, discourse analysis, and all other forms of representation and cultural critique. Seeing texts as the depictions, agents, and vehicles of change, MLQ targets literature as a commanding and vital force.
