界與遊──中國網路玄幻小說空間敘事之承繼與新變芻論

Demarcation and Travel -- A Study of the Evoiution for Spatial narratinive to the Chinese Fantasy novel On the Web

中國網路玄幻小說以其豐富夸誕的空間書寫吸引讀者目光，透過宇宙觀的建構與人物遊歷，我們可以發現創作者往往前有所承，卻又能從志怪、神魔、仙俠等小說傳統中另鑄新意。本文即透過作為敘事動力的空間進行考察，指出宇宙觀可分為上下、水平與洪荒三種模式，分別指涉位階秩序、異文明衝突與同源分化，部分文本則有混雜使用的現象。依照文類特色，玄幻小說最終目的是脫離桎梏，修煉成仙（神），從體內關卡到外在環境，舉凡進出、突破、跨越，都與空間密切相關。其中最重要的概念是連接空間的閾門，作為溝通渠道，唯有完成特定考驗，才能完成尋寶、提升修為、飛升等一連串前後相承的情節。因此，人物藉由感官去體知周遭環境的細微變化，並且和空間發生互動，是敘事極為關鍵的環節，影響最後結果的成敗。
