Chinese martial arts novels from the late nineteenth century are filled with a host of suggestive sounds. Characters cuss and curse in colorful dialect accents, vendor calls ring out from bustling marketplaces, and martial arts action scenes come to life with the loud clash of swords and the sounds of bodies colliding. What is the purpose of these sounds, and what is their history? In Sound Rising from the Paper, Paize Keulemans answers these questions by critically reexamining the relationship between martial arts novels published in the final decades of the nineteenth century and earlier storyteller manuscripts. He finds that by incorporating, imitating, and sometimes inventing storyteller sounds, these novels turned the text from a silent object into a lively simulacrum of festival atmosphere, thereby transforming the solitary act of reading into the communal sharing of an oral performance. By focusing on the role sound played in late nineteenth-century martial arts fiction, Keulemans offers alternatives to the visual models that have dominated our approach to the study of print culture, the commercialization of textual production, and the construction of the modern reading subject.

研究十九時期末期武俠小說中的“聲音”/‘擬聲’

书名出自袁无涯评水浒语“纸上出声”

研究十九時期末期武俠小說中的“聲音”/‘擬聲’

晚明评点家如金圣叹删改章回小说，抹去其说书人遗蜕，言下之意贩夫走卒才会被“纸上出声”所吸引，而文人雅士必能识破这嘈嘈切切的杂音，不过是幻象而已。小说中描写的叫卖声一方面复刻市声，一方面将杂音秩序化，或随主角视角位移，或以自我指涉的方式，变兜售叫卖为说书人展示其字正腔圆、快而不乱的技艺，或一反“唤娇娘”传统，成为叙事中规训欲望的肇始。十九世纪武侠小说运用拟声，使读者体验刺激的行动，注意语言的语音特质，并预留故事悬念；而拟声是印刷文本的独创，并非继承口头讲唱传统的事实，更翻转了文学史上从口语到文本的线性演进观念。相声变口、方言谐音字和白话文并置互释，一方面显示北京作为帝都广纳各省语音，一方面又悄然建立起雅与俗、中心与地方的层级关系，也泄漏出作者与考证小学的渊源。声音起着跨越、调和内外空间的作用。
