近代以来对民间叙事的研究率先在欧美发展起来。在经典叙事学的影响下,日本当代民间叙事研究者们逐步接受了西方叙事理论,从研究对象、研究范式上都能与西方接轨。但这并不意味着理论的生搬硬套和滥用,日本学者们采取了灵活的处理方式,最大限度规避了西方理论的水土不服。日本民间叙事研究者在引入西方新理论时注重与本土实际情况相结合,对新理论有选择有取舍的做法值得我们借鉴。 Since the modern history of the study of folk narrative first developed in Europe and the United States. Under the influence of classic narratology, Japanese contemporary folk narrative researchers have gradually accepted the western narrative theory, and can all integrate with the West from the research object and research paradigm. However, this does not mean that the theory is mechanically copied and abused. Japanese scholars have adopted a flexible approach to minimize the acclimatization of Western theories. Japanese folk narrative researchers pay attention to combining with the actual situation in the country when introducing the new theory of the West, and we should learn from the choice and selection of the new theory.
