《河边的错误》文本及影视改编的叙事学分析

A Narrative Analysis of the Text and Film Adaptation of The Mistake by the River

摘要: 《河边的错误》是作家余华80年代一部具有先锋实验性质的代表作品，小说以对侦探故事的戏仿虚构了一桩疯子杀人案。从文字到荧幕，电影的改编在充分借鉴文学资源的基础之上有突破亦有不足。本文试图以叙事学的相关理论为切口，评析小说与电影在叙事聚焦、叙事结构、叙事空间上的差异，同时引入危机叙事这一视角，从信任危机、性危机与存在危机三个层面解读小说与电影叙事主题的差异，以期对同类型影视改编创作提供解读思路。

Abstract: The Mistake by the River is a representative work of pioneer experiment by writer Yu Hua in the 1980s. The novel fictionalizes a murder case of a madman by parodying a detective story. From the text to the screen, the adaptation of the film has both breakthroughs and shortcomings on the basis of fully drawing on literary resources. This paper attempts to analyze the differences in narrative focus, narrative structure and narrative space between the novel and the film based on the relevant theories of narratology. At the same time, it introduces the perspective of crisis narrative to interpret the differences in narrative themes between the novel and the film from the three levels of trust crisis, sexual crisis and existence crisis, in order to provide interpretation ideas for the same type of film and television adaptation.
