摘要

彼得·海斯勒的《中国三部曲》作为非虚构写作的代表，引起了国内外许多读者的关注，本文将从跨文化传播的角度对其进行特别关注。在具体文本内，海斯勒以非虚构叙事为写作理念，将作品的文学性与报道的客观性联系起来，试图打破原有西方中心话语下对中国充满刻板印象与偏见的写作模式。文本之外，将目光转向非虚构类小说从美国原始语境到中国翻译版本所历经的“地理旅行”，我们发现不同文化环境中人们所赋予文本的不同内涵。一些来自美国读者的评论或显示出跨文化交流的“幻象”，或蕴藏跨文化互动的巨大可能；而在中国，海斯勒叙事作品成为非虚构写作萌芽的一股力量。本文探讨了文学叙事与社会可能存在的深层勾连，也期冀为探索更多的跨文化传播可能性提供一个新鲜视角。
