摘要: 叙事地图正成为当代地图学蓬勃发展的分支。然而,由于对“什么是叙事地图”和“地图是否能叙事”等基本问题缺乏深入的剖析,引发了学术界对其逻辑理据的质疑,更造成了叙事地图在“如何叙事”这一关键问题上悬而未决。针对这些局限性,本文首先系统考察了叙事学和地图学源流演化的发展历程与交叉融合的现实路径,论证了叙事地图产生的逻辑理据;其次,立足于叙事学研究范式及语言符号学视角下的地图概念,在诠释地图“文本”叙事能力的基础上,界定了叙事地图的概念与基本内涵,并甄别出叙事地图的时空性、故事性、修辞性3大基本特征;再次,运用(后)结构主义观点厘清叙事行为过程,解析了叙事地图的叙事系统构成,进而通过集成地图信息传输模型、三维话语分析框架及叙事传输理论的耦合互补优势,构建了叙事地图的叙述模型,从“文本”分析、话语实践和社会实践3个维度阐明了叙事地图的表征机制;最后,对后续叙事地图研究的重点议题进行了展望,以期为叙事地图迈向系统化、体系化和学科化发展提供参考。

Abstract: Narrative maps have become a booming branch of contemporary cartography. However, there lacks of convincing conceptualization of basic issues such as “what is a narrative map” and “whether or not a map can narrate”, which not only raises a challenge to the theoretical legitimacy but also leads to an open question regarding “how do narrative maps tell stories”. Aiming to address these gaps, this paper first demonstrated the theoretical rationality of narrative maps, through unearthing the skeleton of narratology and cartography and their continuous interactions; from the perspective of semiotics, then, conceptualized narrative maps and distinguished their essential characteristics after demonstrating the narrative capability of map 'texts’; following, unraveled the narrative systems and proposed a working model for the representation mechanism of narrative maps using a (post-) structuralist approach; and finally made prospects on the key issues of narrative maps in the near future. This paper is believed to open the window for theoretical innovations of contemporary cartography.

Key words: narrative map, contemporary cartography, visual narrative, theoretical foundation of cartography, representation mechanism, working model of narrative maps
