Abstract
RESUMOEste artigo consiste de uma tentativa de aplicar a noção holística de cronotopo sugerida por Bakhtin à investigação do estilo literário como um fenômeno gestáltico. Estilo é um padrão complexo de elementos mutualmente recíprocos, e o cronotopo de Bakhtin foi o primeiro na análise literária a ligar, pelo menos, dois elementos – tempo e espaço – como complementares, isto é, como combinados para melhorar e enfatizar as qualidades um do outro. A análise sugerida é um instrumento para aprofundamento de nossa compreensão das ações dos protagonistas de Vladimir Nabokov pelas matrizes espaço-temporais nas quais eles atuam. Os instrumentos cognitivos de análise são as noções intimamente relacionadas de cronotopo e metáfora conceptual.
Highlights
This paper is an attempt to apply the holistic notion of chronotope suggested by Bakhtin to investigating literary style as a gestalt phenomenon
They noticed what had long been known in the humanities: the discerned characteristics of analyzed items are necessarily affected by the analyst himself
Bakhtin’s introduction of the notion of chronotope into literary studies by placing an eventful hero within the fictional time/space, which he sometimes described as an ‘organizational matrix of place’, seems, vice versa, to have further complicated theory
Summary
In physics and literary studies alike, the beginning of the XX century was marked by the analytical transition from atomism to holism – the theory that parts of a whole are intimately interconnected and cannot be understood without reference to the whole. In physics, they noticed what had long been known in the humanities: the discerned characteristics of analyzed items are necessarily affected by the analyst himself. Bakhtin’s introduction of the notion of chronotope into literary studies by placing an eventful hero within the fictional time/space, which he sometimes described as an ‘organizational matrix of place’, seems, vice versa, to have further complicated theory. Bakhtin nowhere introduces the ‘third element’ of the protagonist into his theory but this notion is, implied throughout his works
