ABSTRACT:This article argues that recipients can make sense of abstract and highly self-reflexive live performances when they try to narrativize them, i.e., read them as narratives. In performances, different sign systems convey narrative meaning to the spectators. Recipients have to take both acoustic and visual clues into consideration: apart from the dialogues, important sign systems are music, noises, silences, the choice of actors and actresses, facial expressions, gestures, costumes, colors, color combinations, lighting, and references to other narratives. Spectators narrativize performances by relating what they see and what they hear to specific narrative functions and by combining them into a coherent whole.

叙事学与表演性：论现场表演中的叙事化过程

摘要：本文认为，当接受者试图将其叙事化时，即把它们当作叙事来阅读时，他们可以理解抽象的和高度自我反思的现场表演。在表演中，不同的符号系统向观众传达叙事意义。接受者必须同时考虑听觉和视觉线索：除了对话，重要的符号系统是音乐、噪音、沉默、演员和女演员的选择、面部表情、手势、服装、颜色、颜色组合、灯光和参考到其他叙述。观众通过将他们所见所闻与特定的叙事功能联系起来并将它们组合成一个连贯的整体来叙述表演。
