The 'great iconoclast of literary criticism' ("Guardian") reinvents the study of the novel. Franco Moretti argues heretically that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. He insists that such a move could bring new lustre to a tired field, one that in some respects is among "the most backwards disciplines in the academy." Literary study, he argues, has been random and unsystematic. For any given period, scholars focus on a select group of a mere few hundred texts: the canon. As a result, they have allowed a narrow distorting slice of history to pass for the total picture. Moretti offers bar charts, maps, and time lines instead, developing the idea of "distant reading" into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, where the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genres - the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel - as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.

挺新穎的文學史研究方式,Darwinian evolution的思路,就是感覺稍微有點小扯。
评分庫恩和布羅代爾在手… 以及連讀瞭三本,有點扛不住Moretti每一段落開頭必用名詞性短語/不完整句的寫法瞭。Afterwords沒有認真看。
评分哼
评分把文學研究科學化、係統化,是作者作為馬剋思主義者的唯物觀。特彆有文學具體是小說的世界主義(如果不用國際主義)的感覺。那些看似獨特新穎的類型研究,性彆研究,細讀法,在作者的“遠讀”下,都顯得嬌弱單薄起來,甚至還有點羞澀,盡管這本書的外貌是如此的小。
评分comp lit和romance study的大牛們錶示很淡定,福柯、德裏達都是浮雲,對麵走來的cs, statistician,乃至人類學的‘被噎死’bayesian學慘遭退貨。
