库普林俄国时期小说的叙事时空特性及伦理价值

On the Narrative Chronotope and Its Ethical Values in Kuprin's Novels Written in Russia

在库普林俄国时期小说文本中,叙事时间和叙事空间表现出很多有别于传统的重大变化。作家通过对现实时空的淡化和意识时空的强化,呈现出这一时期的小说家与传统不同的时空观,体现了对19世纪小说叙事模式的超越。这种超越标志着俄国小说与西方小说在叙事模式上的接近。这也是库普林在拓展俄国小说叙事艺术方面所做出的历史性贡献,对20世纪俄国小说叙事艺术的发展产生了一定的影响。作家正是通过现实时空体与理想时空体的对照,批判现实世界的非人道和反人文性质,从而体现出作家创作中的伦理思考。

Kuprin＇s novels, which highlight the time and space in consciousness and weaken the physical one, differ greatly from conventional novels. This difference indicates an unconventional sense of chronotope and a transcendence over the 19th century novel in narrative form, which marks Russian Novels＇ assimilation of the narrative form of Western novels. Consequently, this feature of narrative time and space in Kuprin＇s novels during his Russian period contributes greatly to and influences profoundly the development of Russian novels. By contrasting the realistic chronotope with his ideal one, Kuprin criticizes harshly the inhuman realistic world, which illustrates vividly his ethical consideration and its values. Based on the above understanding, this paper analyzes Kuprin＇s novels＇ unique feature of narrative time and space, and its ethical value.
