摘要：

人文社会科学领域的“空间转向”催生了文学领域的“文学空间研究”。美国学者罗伯特·塔利是该领域的领军人物，大力推动了文学空间研究在美国乃至全球的发展。经过十几年的深耕，塔利发展出一套独特的学术术语，建立了由处所意识、文学绘图、文学地理、地理批评、制图学（存在—写作—文本—批评—理论化）构成的话语体系；并就文学绘图、空间概念、乌托邦等问题开展了深刻而具独创性的理论探索；且开展了关于赫尔曼•麦尔维尔、埃德加•艾伦•坡、约翰•托尔金等人的文本批评，不仅展示了地理批评实践的可能路径，还揭示了空间理论在批评实践中的适用性、阐释力、以及文学空间研究的创新力和发展前景。更值得关注的是，他的研究深受詹姆逊等马克思主义者影响，深深扎根于马克思主义文学批评传统，既继承了前人的理论成果，亦实现了对前人成果的发展与批判。

Abstract: The “Spatial Turn” in humanities and social sciences has given rise to “spatial literary studies” in the field of literature. Robert T. Tally Jr., an American scholar, has been playing a leading role in promoting spatial literary studies in the United States and around the world. Over the course of about 20 years’ work in this area, Tally has built up a theoretical system consisting of such concepts as topophrenia, literary cartography, literary geography, geocriticism, and cartography, which correspond to the framework of “being-writing-text-criticism-theorizing”. He has also carried out a profound theoretical exploration with much originality about literary mapping, spatial concepts, utopia, and so on. In addition, he has produced a wide range of criticism on the works of Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, and J. R. R. Tolkien. These studies not only show  the possible geocritical approaches to texts, but also reveal the applicability and explanatory power of spatial theories in critical practice, as well as demonstrate the innovation and prospect of spatial literary studies. More importantly, his research is largely influenced by Fredric Jameson and other Marxist theorists, and is deeply rooted in the tradition of Marxist literary criticism. He has not only inherited the theoretical achievements of his predecessors, but also developed and extended their theories and methods into new areas of critical practice.
