在这篇文章中,我研究了法国三代著名小说家玛格丽特·杜拉斯、帕特里克·莫迪亚诺和玛丽·达里塞克在文学身份探索的背景下对叙事时态的创新使用。我首先总结了语言学领域的相关背景,强调了安妮·贾奇最近对叙事时态系统研究的贡献的重要性。然后,根据这项研究,我考察了我所选择的每一位作者的主要作品,展示了后现代寻找自我的转变视角如何反映在他们冒险选择的叙事时态中。我认为,正如贾奇所定义的那样,多焦点的例子可以在这三部小说中找到,也可以在作家的其他小说中找到。
In this article I examine the innovative use of narrative tenses made by three well-known French novelists from successive generations, Marguerite Duras, Patrick Modiano and Marie Darrieussecq, in the context of the literary identity quest. I first summarize the relevant background from the field of linguistics, emphasizing the importance of Anne Judge’s recent contribution to the study of narrative tense systems. I then examine a major work by each of my selected authors in the light of this research, showing how the shifting perspectives of the postmodern search for self are reflected in their adventurous choice of narrative tenses. I suggest that examples of multifocality, as defined by Judge, can be found in these three novels and also elsewhere in the writers’ fiction.
