Abstract
Modern fiction narrative does not simply rely on the plot for centralized meaning condensation, and the narrators or protagonists in the modern fiction may often be seen to reflect, reinterpret or re-aestheticize the meaning of preconfigured theme or thematic fragments in the text. This may undermine the existent boundaries of meaning field and present a multiple perspective and a dynamic thematic wandering in the process of meaning deterritorialization. Self-interference and self disintegration contribute to the prominent features of modern fiction. Therefore, the interpretation of modern fiction should not begin with how theme is reinforced but should focus on how the aesthetic sense of the narrative in modern fictions is produced in the multi-system of meaning in fictions during the process of interactive deterritoralization.
