摘要

Russian formalism and Czech structuralism are understood to have initiated the study of literature as a self-sufficient discipline by applying linguistic concepts to the analysis of literary texts. This dissertation seeks to enrich our understanding of this development by examining the transition from linguistics to literary theory from an intellectual-historical perspective. My thesis is that folklore study played a crucial role in the rise of formalist and structuralist literary theory by serving as a mediating field between language and "high"literature. Folkloristics, which traditionally approached its subject matter through linguistic theory, understood verbal art to behave like language---as an impersonal repertoire of poetic forms which adhere to regular laws governing their usage and evolution. This body of scholarly work provided early literary theorists with a model for theorizing literature or art as a law-abiding, "scientific" object of study akin to language. The transfer of ideas from the field of folkloristics to literary theory was the product of scholarly training, personal intellectual exchange, and institutional affiliations. In the first chapter I focus on Victor Shklovsky's use of A. N. Veselovsky's writings to develop a universalist theory of narrative structure in his Theory of Prose. Drawing on Roman Jakobson's The Newest Russian Poetry and his work on the Cyrillo-Methodian legacy, the second chapter illustrates parallels between Jakobson's conceptions of literary value and literary evolution and the work of his teacher V. F. Miller. The last chapter argues that Jan Mukarovsky's Aesthetic Function, Norm and Value as Social Facts drew on P. G. Bogatyrev's functional structural ethnography and compares their respective conceptions of the semiotic collective. By tracing these intersections, we can see how the emergence of theory intended to explain "high" literature was galvanized by moments of contact with folklore studies. Highlighting the role that folkloristics played in the work of these three pioneering literary theorists (Shklovsky, Jakobson and Mukarovsky) allows us to better understand the emergence of twentieth-century literary theory as an autonomous discipline.

N. Veselovsky)作品的运用,以在其散文理论中发展一种普遍主义的叙事结构理论。第二章借鉴了罗马·雅各布森的《俄罗斯最新诗歌》及其在西里洛-卫理公会遗产方面的著作,阐述了雅各布森的文学价值和文学进化观念与他的老师弗勒·米勒的著作之间的相似之处。上一章认为,扬·穆卡罗夫斯基的审美功能,规范和作为社会事实的价值借鉴了博格特列夫的功能结构人种志,并比较了他们各自对符号学集体的观念。通过追踪这些交叉点,我们可以看到旨在解释“高级”文学的理论的出现是如何通过接触民间文学研究的时刻而得到激发的。强调民俗学在这三个开创性文学理论家(Shklovsky,Jakobson和Mukarovsky)的工作中所扮演的角色,使我们能够更好地理解二十世纪文学理论作为一门自主学科的出现。
