許地山小小說的陌異化技巧──一個文類的課題

Defamiliarization in Xu Di-Shan’s Short-short Stories—A Problem of Genre

許地山的小小說，大部份發表在一九二○年代上海出版的《小說月報》，這些作品如＜落花生＞、＜面具＞、＜蟬＞、＜蛇＞、＜鬼贊＞等，傳統上被歸類為「散文」。事實上，許地山的很多「散文」，屬於現今流行的「小小說」（或稱「極短篇」）新文類，本論文以俄國形式主義理論家佘格洛夫斯基（Viktor Shklovsky）的「陌異化」（defamiliarization）論點，分析許地山的小小說特色，以提供讀者一新的析賞方向。

Most of Xu Di-shan's short-short stories published in Fiction Monthly in the1920s in Shanghai, are traditionally regarded as 'prose.' In fact his famousworks such as 'Peanut,' 'Mask,' 'Cicada,' 'Snake,' 'A Praise to Ghost,' etc.belong to the new genre 'Short-short story,' also known as 'Flash fiction,' or'Sudden fiction.' This thesis analyzes the technique of Xu's short-short storiesby way of Viktor Shklovsky's 'defamiliarization' theory, in the hope of offeringthe reader a new approach to Xu's 'prose'.
