摘　　要：跨媒介叙事学将叙事识解视为从符号模态到故事世界的映射。卓别林电影《摩登时代》中的餐馆试唱实质上是一个多模态叙事(音乐哑剧小品),调用了多种符号模态来表征这首无厘头歌曲的故事世界。其中,具身模态(动作表演)取代了语言(歌词)成为支配性叙事模态,音乐伴奏和声乐为辅助模态。本文以韩礼德“元功能”概念来刻画各种模态在建构故事世界中的功能;从“可述性”切入,结合电影的文本语境和历史语境,阐释这种多模态配置的审美政治含义。Transmedial narratology conceptualises narrative construal as the mapping of semiotic modes onto the storyworld.The audition episode in Charlie Chaplin's film Moderm Times turns out to be a multimodal narrative(a musical pantomime),in which an array of semiotic modes are exploited to represent the storyworld of the nonsense song,with embodied modes(gestures and motions)displacing the verbal(song lyrics)as the predominant modes,with the musical and vocal modes taking the subordinate position.In this article,the functions of different modes in constructing the storyworld are examined in terms of"metafunctions",as proposed by Halliday.The aesthetic politics of the multimodal configuration is interpreted in the textual and historical context of the film with reference to the notion of"tellability".
