《中西方民间叙事比较研究(英文)》主要是针对中西方民间叙事进行比较研究。这是一项基于人文学的跨学科、跨文化的研究,它涵盖了中西方语言、文学、历史、心理学、哲学、宗教等学科。本研究主要围绕中西文学中的六个民间叙事展开,研究的主要理论基础是约瑟夫坎贝尔(Joseph Campbell)的《千面英雄》(The Hero with a Thousand Faces)(1968)与《神话的力量》(The Power of Myth)(2001),卡尔荣格(Carl Jung)的《原型和集体无意识》(The Archetypes and Collective Unconscious)(1980),弗拉基米尔普罗普(Vladimir Propp)的 《民间故事形态学》(Morphology of the Folktale)(1968)及罗伯特圣克莱尔(Robert St. Clair)的《文学结构、人物发展与戏剧场景对小说类别的限定》(Literary Structures, Character Development,and Dramaturgical Scenarios in Framing the Category Novel)(2004)。研究以上述的神话理论、原型及集体无意识理论和情节结构理论作为指导,详细对比分析了中西民间故事中的叙事主题、情节结构和人物原型,以揭示中西故事之间的深层关系。此外,本研究的另一个目的是希望通过对中国民间叙事的分析,验证上述的西方理论框架和理论范式是否具有文化局限性,是否可以用于非西方 的文学作品研究。
