Abstract: Based on the ideas of antiintentionalism in AngloAmerican new criticism, structuralism and poststructuralism, David Herman further considers the problem of intentionality and emphasizes the importance of taking an intentional stance in the process of narrative communication. In order to construct the theory of intentionality, Herman proposes a twopart approach so that he can examine the nexus between narrative and intentionality along two different but related dimensions. In his opinion, on one hand, stories are grounded in intentional systems, that is, worlding the story; on the other hand, intentional systems are grounded in stories, that is, storying the world. In addition, He discusses the intentionality in narrative contexts, pointing out that intentionality is grounded in human structures of knowhow. Hermans elaboration of intentionality is original, informative and logical, which not only enriches the connotation of narrative theory, but also provides new theoretical foundations for interdisciplinary narrative research.

Key words: David Herman, intentionality, intentional stance, worlding the story, storying the world, structures of knowhow

摘要： 在英美新批评派、结构主义者与后结构主义者的反意向主义思想基础上，戴维·赫尔曼进一步思考有关意向性问题，强调在叙事交流过程中采取意向立场的重要性。为了建构意向性理论，赫尔曼提出一分为二的研究方法，从两个不同但相关的维度审视叙事与意向性之间的联系。他认为，一方面故事根植于意向系统中，即“故事的世界化”；另一方面意向系统根植于故事中，即“世界的故事化”。此外，他还探讨叙事语境中的意向性，指出意向性存在于人类的会知结构中。赫尔曼对意向性问题的论述观点新颖、内容翔实、逻辑缜密，不仅充实了叙事理论的内涵，也为跨学科叙事学研究提供了新的理论基础。
