本文认为，作为一种分析流动和变化条件下的日常叙事的手段，海默斯的民族诗学的价值。本文介绍了民族诗学的发展，作为一种手段，使美国土著口头传统中的叙事可见和增值，并作为一种方法，揭示文化的特定关系的形式和意义。海姆斯的民族诗学方法将叙事结构视为意义创造的文化传统的反映。海姆斯的分析认为，传统叙事是一种文化塑造的言说方式，对叙事结构的分析可以揭示和再造文化。他的取向基于一个假设，即一个群体的文化或多或少是稳定和固定的。本文采用民族诗学的分析方法，将日常叙事戏剧化地表现出来，不仅以台词和诗句的形式组织，而且以场景和行为的形式组织。在场景和行为中的表现使叙事的动态本质可见。本文探讨了海姆斯在民族诗学方面的开创性工作在21世纪的流动性、变化和不可预测性条件下是否仍然具有流通性和购买力。分析日常叙事在城市市场的结论是，尽管在这种条件下的“文化”和“语言”的概念的复杂性，民族诗学可以有效地应用于日常语境的叙事分析。
This paper considers the value of Hymesian ethnopoetics as a means of analysing everyday narrative in conditions of mobility and change. The paper offers an account of the development of ethnopoetics as a means to make visible and valorize narrative in the Native American oral tradition, and as a method of revealing culturally specific relations of form and meaning. Hymes’ ethnopoetic approach viewed narrative structure as a reflection of a cultural tradition of meaning‐making. Hymes’ analysis proposed that traditional narrative was a culturally shaped way of speaking, and analysis of narrative structure could reveal and recreate culture. His orientation rested on an assumption that the culture of a group was more or less stable and fixed. This paper adopts an approach to analysis based on ethnopoetics, representing everyday narrative dramatically, organized not only as lines and verses, but also as scenes and acts. Representation in scenes and acts makes visible the dynamic nature of the narrative. The paper asks whether Hymes’ ground‐breaking work on ethnopoetics still has currency and purchase in 21st‐century conditions of mobility, change, and unpredictability. Analysis of everyday narrative in a city market concludes that, notwithstanding the complexity of notions of ‘culture’ and ‘language’ in such conditions, ethnopoetics can be productively applied to everyday contexts for the analysis of narrative.
