讀者賞析金庸武俠小說之「狹義審美期待」
Aesthetic responds through the interactions of readers ’ aesthetic horizon and text structure

賴玉釵

    本文考察「美感體驗」意涵及發展脈絡，從審美哲學取經並依「接收美學」典範為思辨對象。該典範先賢Jauss 等人認為「美感體驗」乃是「審美視域」與「文本結構」交流之產物，另「審美視域」可展現在讀者對類型之「審美期待」上。Jauss 等人雖言及「審美期待」大略意涵，卻未更精細著墨其呈現面向。
    慮及Jauss及其業師Gadamer盼望從華人文化角度了解詮釋過程又如何涵育出特定「美感體驗」，本研究訪談了16 位具古典文學「類型知識」讀者，並選取武俠類型為讀本以釐清「審美期待」特質。
    研究發現，「審美期待」展現在讀者對「情節」、「寫作視角」及「用語」等層次，且華人讀者審美期待受效果歷史之約制，可與宋代話本等特色相呼應。

    Reception aesthetics is the mainstream aesthetics paradigm in the middle of 20th century. Some scholars, Jauss and Iser, put emphasis on the importance of audience ’s participants. Although Jauss pointed out “aesthetic horizon”, he rarely elaborated it and explained relationships between aesthetic expectations and aesthetic effects. This study tried to operate “aesthetic horizon” and collected data from real readers’interviews. Aesthetic responses were cultivated by local culture which also impacted people’s genre knowledge.
