项目摘要

The nineteenth-century is a Golden Age of French short fiction, made famous by writers like Mérimée and Maupassant, still widely read and studied today. Yet there has been no recent comprehensive general study of this vast output, and those those that do exist have been constrained by concentration on a single aspect - on only part of the century or one author, and by a preoccupation with the academic question of definition of the genre. But readers do not read stories in order to define them: they read them because stories have tales to tell, points to make, lessons and pleasures to give. This project, for a book entitled 'Telling Tales: Short Fiction in Nineteenth-Century France', will explore the centrality and importance of nineteenth-century short fiction - to ask what themes and means it used, why and how it mattered, and how it was produced, read, and received. Stepping outside the academic question of definition, it will ask why definition became so important, and what that tells us about the status and role of stories, their changing position and importance in the century, and why and in what ways definition should have become a significant means of institutional ideological control. Exploring and celebrating the diversity of French nineteenth-century short fiction via the study of eight broadly chronological but also synchronic fields, it will track the nature, uses and abuses of short fiction throughout the century, and suggest that, so far from being definable (as conventional academic studies imply), it is the very irreducibility and undefinability of short fiction which renders it so vibrant, and which, in fact, 'defines' it, via the endless burgeoning of alternative narrative voices, views, and viewpoints, which characterizes it as the genre which refuses to be silenced or pinned down. In this way, the project will conduct a critical enquiry on the canon of nineteenth-century short fiction, expanding the range of authors and short texts studied, for specialists, students, and general reader alike.

19世纪是法国短篇小说的黄金时代，由梅里美和莫泊桑等作家成名，至今仍被广泛阅读和研究。然而，最近还没有人对这一庞大的作品进行全面的综合研究，而那些确实存在的研究也受到了限制，因为它们只集中在一个方面--只集中在世纪的一部分或一个作者身上，而且还受到了对体裁定义这一学术问题的关注。但读者读故事并不是为了定义它们：他们读故事是因为故事有故事要讲，有观点要说，有教训要给，有乐趣要给。这个项目，为一本书题为“讲故事：短篇小说在十九世纪的法国”，将探讨19世纪短篇小说的中心地位和重要性-问什么主题和手段，它使用，为什么和如何重要，以及它是如何产生的，阅读和接收。走出定义这个学术问题，本书将探讨为什么定义变得如此重要，这告诉我们故事的地位和作用是什么，故事在世纪中的地位和重要性发生了什么变化，定义为什么以及如何成为制度化意识形态控制的重要手段。探索和庆祝法国十九世纪短篇小说的多样性，通过八个广泛的时间顺序，但也同步领域的研究，它将跟踪整个世纪短篇小说的性质，用途和滥用，并建议，到目前为止，从被定义（正如传统的学术研究所暗示的那样），正是短篇小说的不可还原性和不可定义性使它如此充满活力，事实上，“定义”它，通过无休止的新兴替代叙事的声音，观点和观点，这表明它是一种拒绝沉默或固定的体裁。通过这种方式，该项目将对19世纪短篇小说的经典进行批判性调查，扩大研究的作者和短篇小说的范围，为专家，学生和普通读者提供服务。
