巴赫金时空体理论与《圣经》叙事的时空分析

Bakhtin’s Chronotope Theory and the Space-time Analysis of Biblical Narrative

巴赫金的时空体理论主张兼顾时间和空间两个维度对叙事作品进行综合观照,从时空维度对巴赫金的对话理论进行了定位,重在呈现时间和空间在叙事中的对话关系。对话同样是《圣经》叙事的基本展开方式之一,不仅充当着情节载体和人物塑造的重要功能,而且通过时空分析可以发现,对话性在《圣经》中的存在还使得时间与空间两大叙事元素有着独特而内在的张力关系,进而呈现出场景化重复和时空模糊的叙事特征,这种叙事特征从根本上来源于《圣经》对神圣时空的终极指向。

Bakhtin’s Chronotope theory emphazies the importance of both time and space in analyzing narrative works,positioning Bakhtin’s Dialogue theory from the spatio-temporal dimension,focusing on presenting the dialogue relationship between time and space in narratives.Dialogue plays a crucial role in the development of biblical narratives,serving as an important function of plot carrier and character shaping.Through an analysis of the spatiotemporal dimension,it can be found that the existence of dialogue in the Bible also makes the two narrative elements of time and space have a unique tension relationship,and then presents the narrative characteristics of scene repetition and space-time ambiguity.This narrative feature is fundamentally derived from the ultimate direction of the Holy time and space in the Bible.
