ABSTRACT:Against the backdrop of a recent return to the institutional conditions of literature and an extension of the discipline of narratology, this essay retrieves Gérard Genette's concept of the paratext. It does so by centering on the relation between literary narration and paratexts and by discussing the implications of this relation for notions of authorship. On the one hand, the paratext can be usefully deployed for challenging the confines of classical narratology: once the channels between paratext and text are recognized and opened, the status of narratological categories such as character, event, and narration needs to be reassessed. On the other hand, Genette's concept helps expose the conditions of contemporary literary historiographies, to the extent that it maps the functions of authorship and the institutional contexts of literary production and reception. Dave Eggers's Zeitoun serves as a case study to explore some concrete manifestations of paratexts. Claiming both the literary and the nonfictional, Zeitoun mobilizes various paratextual layers to negotiate Eggers's authorship and the cultural status of the independent publisher McSweeney's, and to foreground the link between literary and political hermeneutics.

副文本和文学叙事：作者、机构、史学

摘要：在最近回归文学的制度条件和叙事学学科扩展的背景下，本文回顾了热拉尔·热内特的副文本概念。它以文学叙事和副文本之间的关系为中心，并通过讨论这种关系对作者概念的影响来做到这一点。一方面，副文本可以有效地用于挑战经典叙事学的界限：一旦副文本和文本之间的通道被识别和打开，叙事学类别如人物、事件和叙述的地位需要重新评估。另一方面，热内特的概念有助于揭示当代文学史学的条件，在某种程度上，它描绘了作者身份的功能以及文学生产和接受的制度背景。Dave Eggers 的 Zeitoun 作为一个案例研究来探索副文本的一些具体表现形式。Zeitoun 主张文学和非小说，动员各种副文本层来协商埃格斯的作者身份和独立出版商麦克斯威尼的文化地位，并突出文学和政治解释学之间的联系。
