空间叙事研究和批评是我国当前影视研究的一个热点，但在核心概念和基本方法上，还有一些混乱。本文首先对目前我国空间叙事研究和批评的空间概念语用状况进行了归纳，认为目前学界往往不自觉地将“空间”的能指看作是一个具有自身同一性的存在，但实际的空间叙事研究和批评里，“空间”的所指又往往是不同的、甚至不能通约的。本文认为，这是导致目前我国空间叙事研究，在研究对象和研究方法等学科基本问题尚未得到基本解决的一个重要原因。针对这种情况，本文力求通过返回“空间”最基本的含义，使“空间”的内涵获得一个较稳定的逻辑起点和理论增长点之上。受符号学和存在主义相关思想的启发，本文首先指出，“空间”最基本、最原初的含义，并不是纯物理性的广延，而是充满符号、意义的人文空间。在此界定的基础上，本文提出，这种意义的空间，在叙事上相比于时间而言，处于派生和第二性的地位，不能因为把空间叙事作为研究对象，就任意夸大空间在叙事上的地位和功能。 为使本文的概念辨析和理论探讨更为切实具体，本文所取的研究路线不是从理论到理论，而是力求将概念辨析、理论探讨与具体的文本分析融在一起。为此本文特选取了空间叙事强度最大的空间类型——悬疑片的封闭空间，为限定研究范围，本文进一步将韩国悬疑片的封闭空间作为主要研究对象，从功能的角度把韩国悬疑片的封闭空间分为以下几种：具有现代表意功能的封闭空间、具有历史表意功能的封闭空间、具有虚拟营造功能的封闭空间，以展示不同封闭空间表现的不同叙事意义。为了避免因目不暇接的研究基点，我们选取了最能代表不同类型的三部电影：《恐怖直播》、《杀人回忆》和《雪国列车》，分章进行逐一的分析。 在封闭空间的悬疑片里，这些空间的叙事功能一方面是其他叙事要素不能取代的，另一方面又与其他叙事要素一起，参与到了包括情节发展、悬念营造、人物塑造、作品主题和价值取向的呈现等叙事活动总体之中。鉴于学界对空间与叙事结构、情节转换的关系，已经有了较为充分的展开，而空间与悬念、人物塑造、作品主题和价值取向的关系尚未得到集中深入的讨论，我们侧重讨论了这些问题。本文认为，封闭空间可以表现对现代社会的隐喻，表现“时代感”，表现对未来的想象；封闭空间可以营造信息落差；封闭空间可以表现人物性格转变以及集体性格；空间可以表达主题，可以表现叙事的价值取向。

Space narrative research and criticism is a hot topic in China's current film and television research. However, in terms of core concepts and basic methods, it has not yet reached the minimum unity required by a discipline. This paper first summarizes the pragmatic status of spatial concepts in China's current space narrative research and criticism. It is believed that scholars often unconsciously regard the signifier of “space” as an existence with self-identity, but the actual spatial narrative In research and criticism, the meaning of “space” is often different and even impossible. This paper believes that this is an important reason that led to the current research on spatial narrative in our country, which has not been basically resolved in the basic issues of research subjects and research methods. In view of this situation, this paper seeks to obtain a more stable logical starting point and theoretical growth point by returning to the most basic meaning of “space”. Inspired by the related ideas of semiology and existentialism, this article first pointed out that the most basic and original meaning of “space” is not pure physical extension, but a humanistic space full of symbols and meaning. On the basis of this definition, this paper proposes that this space of meaning is in a derivation and second nature compared to time in narrative. It cannot be used to arbitrarily exaggerate the space in narrative because space narrative is the object of study. On the status and function. In order to make the concept analysis and theoretical discussion of this article more practical and specific, the research line taken in this paper is not from theory to theory, but is to integrate conceptual analysis, theoretical discussion and concrete text analysis. For this reason, the paper chooses the space type with the largest spatial narrative strength—the closed space of the suspense film. To limit the research scope, this paper further regards the closed space of the Korean suspense film as the main research object, and closes the Korean suspense film from the perspective of function. The space is divided into the following types: closed spaces with modern ideographic functions, closed spaces with historical ideographic functions, and closed spaces with virtual construction functions to demonstrate the different narrative meanings of different closed spaces. In order to avoid dizzying research base points, we selected three films that best represent different types: "Terrorist Live", "Remember Memories" and "Snow Country Trains", and analyze each chapter one by one. In the suspenseful film of the closed space, the narrative function of these spaces cannot be replaced by other narrative elements on the one hand, and on the other hand it participates together with other narrative elements, including plot development, suspense creation, character creation, work theme and value orientation. The presentation of such narrative activities in general. In view of the fact that the relationship between space and narrative structure and plot conversion has been fully developed in academic circles, the relationship between space and suspense, character creation, theme of work and value orientation has not yet been discussed in depth. We have focused on these issues. This article believes that closed space can express metaphors to modern society, express “feelings of the times”, and express imagination for the future; closed space can create information gaps; closed space can express character changes and collective character; space can express topics and can express The narrative value orientation.
