摘　　要：The Ethical Turn is commonly supposed to have occurred around 1988.In that year,Wayne C.Booth published The Company We Keep,a book considered to be the first attempt to rehabilitate moral judgement in literary critics and theory.The Ethical Turn can have various consequences for literary theory and criticism.In this paper,I try to describe and examine some,mainly those that concern the possibility of an ethics-based narratology.Are the attempts to define it in the last thirty years satisfactory?What kind of description of narrative structures can they give us?Must an ethics-based narratology be focused on the notion of character?Can it deal with the notion of plot,with the problem of temporality?Should it be necessarily linked with one of the different schools of ethical philosophy?Do different philosophical tendencies lead us to different kinds of narratology?After discussing these questions,I propose some paths for future research in moral narratology.通常认为伦理转向发生于1988年,亦即,韦恩·C·布斯出版《我们所交往的同伴》的这一年。布斯的这本书被视为第一次尝试在文学批评和理论中恢复道德判断。伦理转向可能对文学理论和批评产生各种影响,而本文则试图描述和审视其中的一些议题,主要是那些涉及基于伦理的叙事学可能性的影响。在过去三十年中,对伦理叙事学的定义是否令人满意?这些定义能为我们提供何种叙事结构的描述?基于伦理的叙事学是否必须集中于人物概念?它能否处理情节概念和时间性问题?它是否必须与不同的伦理哲学学派之一相关联?不同的哲学倾向是否会导致我们得到不同种类的叙事学?基于对这些问题的探讨,本文提出了一些未来道德叙事学研究的方向。
