摘要

「盜墓小説」是以「盜墓」探險行爲、以及風水秘術作爲題材貫穿全文的新類型通俗小説，從書籍出版量到各類週邊產品，已然顯露了這類題材在讀者群的受落程度。自2006年於網路崛起的長篇小説《鬼吹燈》迅速火紅之後，市面上開始湧現大量以「盜墓」爲題材的作品，同時，也創造了通俗文學新的類型小説。因此本論文主軸有四個要點，第一部分理析盜墓小説的沿革及源流，並且從盜墓活動在現實中的文化脈絡去定義何謂盜墓小説？此外也從古典文學開始追本溯源「盜墓」題材的發展狀況。第二部分處理了盜墓小説與大衆傳播媒介的關係，各類週邊產品的衍生乃促成盜墓小説風靡一時之原因。第三部分從文本内部作研究，並以小説敍述的主要元素，也就是：一、情節，二、人物，三、環境與空間，由上述三個方向分析文本結構的普遍及功能性，進而從中發掘盜墓文學基本該具備的元素有哪些。第四部分則應用文化研究方法對小説體現的文化價值進行探討，盜墓小説重要意義在於，它並不只有娛樂消遣作用，也不僅僅是作者虛構出來的故事，我們應當看見其背後存在的價值體系如何提供讀者知識性閲讀。從以上四個面向之研究，即能掌握盜墓文學何以能夠在短時間内蔚然成風的特殊現象，甚至以新類型的姿態開拓了通俗文學新的範疇。
