罗兰·巴特直接论述叙事理论的作品主要包括论文《叙事作品结构分析导论》和分析叙事符码的专著《S/Z》。前者可以解释文本中心意义的形成,后者则指向文本意义的多元性。据此旨趣可以假定巴特前期持结构主义观点,后期持解构观。巴特在《叙事作品结构分析导论》中认为,叙事作品包括功能级、行动级、叙述级三个不同层级;海明威《雨中的猫》一文中,各层叙述符码逐级展开,层层推进,从静态符码到动态符码以及连结符码的各种叙述符号(语境)与巴特结构主义叙述观相吻合,这些符码构建了女性主体意识。尽管如此,《猫》因文约而指博之故,仍可有不同解读方式。实际上,巴特的《导论》在某种程度上已经包含着后结构主义思想的萌芽,巴特后期转向后结构主义也是其思想进一步发展的逻辑必然,因此在《S/Z》中巴特指出,叙事文本由能指片段组成,符号能指的滑动性导致文本意义的复数性,所以同一文本会存在不同的意义解读结果。 Roland Barthes direct discussion of the works of narrative theory include the thesis “Introduction to Structure Analysis of Narrative Works” and the monograph “S / Z” analyzing narrative codes. The former can explain the formation of the meaning of the text center, while the latter points to the pluralism of the meaning of the text. According to this interest can assume that the early part of the structuralist point of view of the early Batten, hold the view. In his “Introduction to Structural Analysis of Narrative Works,” Barthes argues that narrative compositions include three different levels: functional level, action level, and narrative level. In Ernest Hemingway’s cat in the rain, the narrative codes at various levels expand one level at a time, The narratives (contexts) from static codes to dynamic codes, as well as the connective code, are in line with the Barthestructural narrative, which constructs the female subjective consciousness. Nonetheless, “cats” may still have different interpretations because of the textual agreement. In fact, Bart’s “Introduction” has contained the embryo of post-structuralism to a certain extent. Later, Barthes turned to post-structuralism as the logical necessity of its further development. Therefore, in “S / Z”, Bart pointed out that the narrative The text consists of finger segments, and the slidability of the signifier means the plural of the meaning of the text, so the same text will have different interpretations of meaning.
