本文試圖從敘事理論中對於故事的內容與說故事的方式的分析方 法，尋求對於展覽敘事的理解。敘事理論基本上有一個假定，亦即有一 個故事，它可以運用不同的方式與不同的媒介加以表現，因此我們得以 區別故事內容與表達方式（亦即話語）。在上述框架下，本文擬以「文 學拿破崙：巴爾札克特展」為個案，借助語言學者與結構主義者的分析 理論，試圖探究分析展覽如何說故事的可行性。 在故事內容部分，本文首先將故事劃分為相對獨立的基本單位，並 建立這些單位得以連接的原則；在話語的部分，本文則藉由對照不同的 話語與交流模式，分析如何連結敘述者、其聲音以及述說的內容。 這樣的分析自然也有進一層的用意，便是可用以瞭解敘述聲音的話 語對象，並在未來進行參觀者研究時，對照參觀者的反應。儘管參觀者 不會直接回答策展者，但仍會覺得自己是被述說的對象，以提出和回應 有關他們所參觀的內容的問題並使一個展覽得到生命。

This article attempts to seek an understanding of exhibition narratives from the analysis of story content and narrative methods that make up narrative theory. Fundamentally, narrative theory involves a story and different methods and media for the telling of that story. Under such a framework, a special exhibition on Honoré de Balzac: The Napoleon of Literature serves as a case study in the exploration of how an exhibition tells a story. In terms of narrated content, stories are divided into relatively independent basic units, which are then connected. As far as narrative is concerned, analyses of narrators, their voices and the narrated content are carried out by contrasting different speech and modes of interaction. There is naturally a further layer of purpose to this kind of analysis, which is that it can be used to understand the speech target of the narrative voice, and, in the future, to compare visitors’ reactions when carrying out visitor-related research. Although visitors do not provide direct responses to curators, they feel that they are the targets of what is being recounted through exhibition content. To raise and echo questions about the content that visitors experience is what brings an exhibition to life.
