- Title
From Theoretical Revelation to Theoretical Innovation: An Interview with SHEN Dan.
- Authors
Ning Yizhong; SHEN Dan
- Abstract
As we can see from Jiang Hong's introduction in the Guest Editor's Column, SHEN Dan or Dan Shen in English is an internationally famous scholar and one of the most influential and respected scholars in the humanities in China. Her research spans several fields, including narrative studies, stylistics, and translation studies. This interview singles out some important issues to discuss. Shen first shares her insights into the following issues: the essential relation between classical narratology and post classical narratologies, the contextual potential of the second and third generations of the Chicago School (rhetorical narrative theory), the complementary relation between narratology and stylistics, and Derrida's misrepresentation of Saussure's theory of the language system. Then Shen goes on to explicate why she created "covert progression" and "dual narrative dynamics" and how these original theoretical concepts and models can extend and transform narrative studies, stylistics, and translation studies.
