زمان و حکایت (کتاب اول: پ‍ی‍رن‍گ‌ و ح‍ک‍ای‍ت‌ ت‍اری‍خ‍ی‌) الفارسية 1401

Between the experience of the "distension of the soul" by time, as Augustine described it in Book XI of the Confessions, and the work of composing the plot, in itself achronic, as it is described by Aristotle in his Poetics, there is a contrast. However, it is within this contrast that all figuration, and ultimately all thought, of time is necessarily placed. This is the central thesis of this work. In short, human time is a narrated time. Paul Ricoeur first shows that the narrative has three mimetic relationships: to time acted and lived, to the setting up of the plot, to the time of reading. The first test of this schema had to be made on history: it is that today it presents itself, whether it is the search for "explanations" or "non-event" history, as very far removed from the narrative. At the end of a detailed analysis of the epistemologies of history, it will appear that it remains, despite everything, in the movement of the narrative, based on a quasi-plot. A second volume will deal with the fictional narrative, from the epic to the modern novel. And will conclude with a study of the time narrated, demonstrating how the historical mode and the fictional mode of the narrative intersect there. At the end of the enterprise, it is the poetics of the narrative that will be able to respond to the aporias against which the phenomenology of the experience of time had stumbled.
