THIS SPECIAL ISSUE IS THE FIRST SUSTAINED ACADEMIC EXPLORATION of the contemporary adventure narrative across a wide range of media. While many other types of texts that emerged during the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including gothic horror, romance, travel narrative, and melodrama, have received considerable attention, the contemporary adventure narrative has been left out of or taken for granted by recent popular culture studies. The absence of adventure in recent scholarship may, paradoxically, have to do with the ubiquitous presence of the form. Like many other genres, adventure has invaded and merged with a host of other modes and genres, from television reality game shows, such as Survivor, to gritty war films, such as Black Hawk Down. Indeed, as several of the contributions to this issue demonstrate, the contemporary adventure form often appears in trans-genre texts where the adventure component is perceived as secondary. While contemporary adventure is severely under-researched, the nineteenthto early-twentieth-century British and US variant has been closely scrutinized. This scholarship has primarily explored two different concerns: one related to supposedly universal mythical narratives and the other closely tied to the long history of European colonialism. Regarding the former concern, Joseph Campbell’s not only influential but also much criticized work in the middle of the twentieth century maps a wide range of global mythologies. Campbell worked, like C. G. Jung or James Frazer, from a disciplinary framework that was partly psychological and partly anthropological, and he

重温冒险:特刊介绍

本期特刊是跨媒体对当代冒险叙事的首次持续学术探索。虽然 18 世纪后期和 19 世纪出现的许多其他类型的文本,包括哥特式恐怖、浪漫、旅行叙事和情节剧,都受到了相当多的关注,但当代冒险叙事却被近期流行的小说排除在外或视为理所当然。文化研究。矛盾的是,最近的学术研究中缺乏冒险可能与这种形式的普遍存在有关。像许多其他类型一样,冒险已经侵入并与许多其他模式和类型融合,从电视真人秀节目,如幸存者,到坚韧不拔的战争电影,如黑鹰坠落。事实上,正如对这个问题的一些贡献所表明的那样,当代冒险形式经常出现在跨流派文本中,其中冒险成分被认为是次要的。虽然对当代冒险的研究严重不足,但 19 世纪至 20 世纪早期的英国和美国变种已受到密切关注。该奖学金主要探讨了两个不同的问题:一个与所谓的普遍神话叙事有关,另一个与欧洲殖民主义的悠久历史密切相关。关于前一个问题,约瑟夫·坎贝尔在 20 世纪中叶不仅有影响力而且也饱受批评的工作描绘了广泛的全球神话。坎贝尔像 CG Jung 或 James Frazer 一样,从一个部分心理学部分人类学的学科框架中工作,他 19 世纪到 20 世纪早期的英国和美国变体受到了仔细审查。该奖学金主要探讨了两个不同的问题:一个与所谓的普遍神话叙事有关,另一个与欧洲殖民主义的悠久历史密切相关。关于前一个问题,约瑟夫·坎贝尔在 20 世纪中叶不仅有影响力而且也饱受批评的工作描绘了广泛的全球神话。坎贝尔像 CG Jung 或 James Frazer 一样,从一个部分心理学部分人类学的学科框架中工作,他 19 世纪到 20 世纪早期的英国和美国变体受到了仔细审查。该奖学金主要探讨了两个不同的问题:一个与所谓的普遍神话叙事有关,另一个与欧洲殖民主义的悠久历史密切相关。关于前一个问题,约瑟夫·坎贝尔在 20 世纪中叶不仅有影响力而且也饱受批评的工作描绘了广泛的全球神话。坎贝尔像 CG Jung 或 James Frazer 一样,从一个部分心理学部分人类学的学科框架中工作,他 一个与所谓的普遍神话叙事有关,另一个与欧洲殖民主义的悠久历史密切相关。关于前一个问题,约瑟夫·坎贝尔在 20 世纪中叶不仅有影响力而且也饱受批评的工作描绘了广泛的全球神话。坎贝尔像 CG Jung 或 James Frazer 一样,从一个部分心理学部分人类学的学科框架中工作,他 一个与所谓的普遍神话叙事有关,另一个与欧洲殖民主义的悠久历史密切相关。关于前一个关注点,约瑟夫·坎贝尔在 20 世纪中叶不仅有影响力而且也饱受批评的工作描绘了广泛的全球神话。坎贝尔像 CG Jung 或 James Frazer 一样,从一个部分心理学部分人类学的学科框架中工作,他
