文学中的时间

On Time in Literature

时间是文学的重要组成部分,时间意识的发展和变革也会促成文学的发展和变革。随着现代主义的兴起,人们对时间的研究进一步深入,对时间的了解也进一步加深。在文学中,时间不但是作者进行创新的切入点,更成为众多文学作品的主题,是作者探讨人类存在问题的重要手段之一。首先对时间进行了本体论意义上的探讨,以明确时间的本质;随后转入文学世界内部,以热奈特的叙事话语理论为基础,阐明时间在文本中特有的艺术表现形式,以及现代以来文学作品空间性走向的合理性,从而明确时间不但是文学的重要组成部分,更是人类认识自我、探究自身存在问题的有效途径。

Time is an important component in literature.The development and evolution of time can contribute to the de-velopment and evolution of literature.Since the modern time,as the researchers probe into the issue of time further,their knowledge and understanding of time has been deeper and broader.In literature,time has become not only a perspective of authors’creativity,but also a theme of their works that allows them to analyze humans’problem of existence.This ar-ticle will first make an ontological analysis of time and then turn to the analysis of time in the literary world.It is based on the theory of narrative discourse by Genette.The theory aims at clarifying that time has its own artistic forms of ex-pression in text and the reasonability of spatiality in literature.The article indicates that time is not only a significant part in literature,but also an effective way to help humans know themselves well.
