摘　　要：卡尔维诺的童话三部曲《我们的祖先》是对其《意大利童话》的改写与创化,潜隐着与传统间内在、深层的关联。通过对意大利传统童话的知识编纂与文字记忆,作家首先从形象性重置出发,分别为三部曲确立了"半身人""树上人"和"隐身人"等想象性的视觉形象,然后再由形象催生与推动故事。体现在叙事层面,作品引入亲历与旁观并举的双重视角,以简洁而轻快的节奏掌控画面的快慢转换,采借三段式、几何拼图的方式结构全篇,从而使诸种童话模因得到强烈的视觉化复现。该作的这种"视象化"复述是对意大利童话传统的继承与发展,关乎作家借镜童话形式以回应图像时代文学和人文传统双重失落的深层的叙事伦理,体现出作家对小说现代性与现代人生存困境的诗之思。Abstact： Our Ancestors by Italo Calvino is a reinterpretation and recreation of Italian Folktales, symbolizing the deep correlation with traditions. Through knowledge compilation and verbal memory of Italian fairy-tale traditions, the author set out from creating imaginative visual images -- namely ＂Halfling＂, ＂Tree Man＂ and ＂Invisible Man＂ -- respectively for his trilogy to breed and advance the stories. As for narrative skills, the author pushed forward his storylines at a compact and brisk pace from both ＂insider＂ and ＂outsider＂ perspectives; he structured the novel in three parts as a ＂geometric jigsaw＂, so that all kinds of the fairy-tale memes can be clearly visualized. The narrative approach of ＂visualization＂ in Our Ancestors, which is the inheritance and development of Italian fairy tale traditions, involves the deep-seated narrative ethics of the ＂dual decline＂ of literary and humanistic tradition in the era of image, and reflects the author＇s thinking about the modemity of novels and the existence dilemma of modem people. Key words： Italo Calvino; Our Ancestors; fairy-tale traditions; visualization; narrative ethics
