Chapter 8: The Stream of Consciousness Emperor
When the Internet first appeared, I used to wander everywhere, and I came to a garden where articles were published, and I forgot the name of the website for a long time. The various articles published by many people on it seem to me to be academic, not only uncreative, but also ignorant. Because the ancients had written about it a long time ago, and it was far better than them, why did they write all the things that were not in the limelight? And they still thought they were very good? They complimented each other, and I wanted to laugh when I read it. But the author will not criticize them, after all, this is their freedom, even if the author has the freedom to comment, but negative comments, in the world can not exist negative comments in front of the parties, unless the other party allows, otherwise this freedom is wrong.
The reason why the reason why the reason for the first reason is that the real value of people is in the love word, otherwise it is no different from the beasts, such as all the law, then people are wooden robots, and the world is lovely, which is true, good, beautiful, and free.
So under the casual situation, the author waved a large pen casually, and also left his own words, and as a result, one comment after another was provoked online, all of which were negative, incomprehensible, and had no rules and grammar. The author debated one by one, at least at the same time with 100 people online, the author thought that one person is more than enough for 100 people, doesn't it prove that you have lost the writing skills and writing thoughts?
Later, of course, the author was not interested in talking to children, once was enough, and this was also the first time that the author's text appeared in the Internet world. It's one thing to like writing and writing, but it's another thing to know oneself and one's other. The author has never said that he writes well, but what the author writes is definitely something that others can't write, because it is absolutely written at will, just like today's whimsical tetralogy.
After Huashan discussed the sword, a small group of people also discussed the sword in Huashan, and that plot made the author amuse, the important thing is that the chivalrous couple is still a chivalrous couple.
When the author quotes the words of many creators, they are all to assist the mainstream consciousness of the individual or the concept of the story, firstly, in line with the current mood, and secondly, this book is taken in by the author, including his own writing. Like. If you have a fate, keep it.,Maybe the website will still be there in ten years.,Ten years later, the author can look back and laugh at my current self.,Maybe it's gone.。 The world is really unpredictable. It's like the 921 earthquake in Taiwan. Sichuan earthquake. Today's online literature landscape and the world world, who could have expected it early on?
For the author here to appear in "The Light of the Great God", he must have 500 VIP chapters in it. The system is set up like this, and the author must be forced to achieve it. It's easy to take someone else's, the author seems to have taken a hundred great gods' light, as long as you subscribe to all the books of this person, of course, there is only one, and some have many, but it's easy.
I saw the publisher in the book review area: Embarrassing Little Detective, mentioning "The Stream of Consciousness Emperor". The author has not studied literature, and I only have a feeling that I should belong to the school of consciousness! Anyway, there is a certain aspect of the author's personality that I do not seek to understand, because I am not particularly interested.
Check it out:
“
Stream-of-consciousness literature generally refers to literary works that focus on depicting the flow of consciousness of characters, including not only waking consciousness, but also unconscious, dreamlike consciousness and prelinguistic consciousness. The term "stream of consciousness" is a psychological term that was introduced to the literary world in 1918 when May and Sinclair commented on the novel "Journey" by Taurosai and Richardson. Stream-of-consciousness literature is an important branch of modernist literature, and its main achievements are limited to the field of fiction, but also expressed in drama and poetry. ”
"Stream of consciousness" is a term used in Western psychology, first seen in the American psychologist William James's paper "On Several Problems Ignored by Introspective Psychology". He believed that human consciousness is a continuous process. Consciousness is not a connection of fragments, but a fluidity. This is the first time that the concept of "stream of consciousness" has been formally proposed in psychology.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the French philosophers Henri and Bergson's "theory of continuity" emphasized the continuity and variability of life impulses. His distinction between "mental time" and "spatial time", the importance of intuition, and the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's theories of the structure of the unconscious and the relationship between dreams and art have all had a significant impact on the development of stream-of-consciousness literature.
Academics generally consider the stream of consciousness to be the embodiment of symbolist literature in the field of fiction. However, due to his unique skills and high level of achievement, stream-of-consciousness literature is usually treated as an independent literary genre.
Stream-of-consciousness novelists advocate that the "truth" that the characters subjectively feel should be objectively and spontaneously reproduced on paper, and oppose the traditional novel's way of introducing the characters' backgrounds, external environment, or occasionally standing up to criticize them, and asking the author to "quit the novel". This claim was first put forward by American writers Henry and James, and later T.S. Eliot's theory of "impersonalization" expressed a similar claim.
James and Joyce, the exponents of stream-of-consciousness literature, regard the drama that destroys the author's personality as the highest aesthetic form, and strive to achieve this goal in the novel. Joyce sees the work as an independent and self-contained organic structure insulated from the outside world. As a ready-made work of art, it has nothing to do with society, history, or even the author himself. Because social and historical factors and the author's thoughts and feelings are only the materials for creation, they are "artistic" and "formalized" after they enter the work, and they are no longer the original appearance.
Assuming that no one else is listening, a character who directly expresses his feelings and thoughts without fear is an "inner monologue". This is the most commonly used technique in stream-of-consciousness literature. For example, there are a lot of monologues in Joyce's "Ulysses". It is characterized by the fact that the author's actions are completely invisible in the monologue, and it is purely the expression of the true consciousness of the characters themselves in the novel. This inner monologue is known as a "direct inner monologue".
In addition, there is also an "indirect inner monologue", although it also describes the inner activities of the characters, but the author comes out from time to time to point out and explain. The consciousness activity of this inner monologue is usually at a shallower level, more coherent and logical, and the form of language is more normal than that of "direct inner monologue".
The so-called "inner analysis" refers to the fact that the narrator or character in the novel analyzes and pursues his or her own thoughts and feelings very rationally, and does so without others listening. It differs from the "inner monologue" in that it is guided by reason to make logical and methodical reasoning or explanations, rather than allowing consciousness to flow naturally. Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" (a translation of "Reminiscences of the Lost Years") makes extensive use of this technique. Some researchers in Britain and the United States categorically deny that Proust is a stream-of-consciousness novelist, mainly because his "inner monologue" is only an "inner analysis" controlled by reason, rather than a complete natural flow of consciousness.
The stream of consciousness of the characters shows no pattern or order. Its consciousness can generally only be in one question. For a short stay in one thing, the things in the mind are often replaced by the sudden appearance of external objective things, and any thing in front of the eyes that stimulates the five senses may interrupt the character's train of thought, stimulate new thoughts and imaginations, and release a series of impressions and feelings.
Montage is a series of techniques used in movies to express the multiplicity of things, such as "multiple perspectives", "slow motion", "close-ups", "flashbacks" and so on. In order to break through the limitations of time and space and express the variability and complexity of the flow of consciousness, stream-of-consciousness novelists often use this kind of technique. Stream-of-consciousness writers who have used this technique the most include Virginia, Woolf, and William and Faulkner.
Stream-of-consciousness novelists sometimes resort to poetry and music in order to enhance their symbolic effect. They make extensive use of imagery, metaphors, movement structures, rhythms, punctuation, and even bizarre spelling to suggest the feelings, impressions, mental states, or morals of the characters at a given moment. The language of Woolf's "Waves" is very similar to Imagist poetry. Chapter 11 of Joyce's Ulysses, "The Siren", uses the structure of Bach's fugue.
Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born into a wealthy bourgeois family in France, the daughter of a medical professor and a Jewish broker. Proust suffered from asthma from an early age and could only write behind closed doors after 1906. His famous work "Reminiscences of the Lost Years" recounts and analyzes his early life experiences in the form of memories. While studying at the University of Paris, Proust became acquainted with the philosopher Henri Bergson, whose ideas had a profound influence on Proust's work.
"Reminiscences of the Lost Years" is more than 3,000 pages long, about 2 million words, and is divided into seven parts. In the novel, the protagonist recounts the life experiences of his teenage years in the first person, involving the love history of a large number of people, including relatives and friends, the French aristocracy and emerging bourgeoisie, artists, and many others. There is no consistent storyline throughout the book, which is very different from traditional psychological novels. Proust was a pioneer of stream-of-consciousness literature.
James Joyce (1882-1941) was born in Dublin, Ireland, and lived in exile in Paris and Zurich after graduating from university. He lived in France from 1920 to 1939. His early works, The Dubliners and Portrait of a Young Artist, remained in the realm of realism, while Ulysses, published in 1922, became the foundational works of English stream-of-consciousness literature. The novel focuses on the activities and thoughts of three Dublin citizens for nearly 19 hours from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. on June 16, 1904. The title of the book, Ulysses, is the Latin name of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey.
The greatest achievement of "Ulysses" is the comprehensive advancement and high development of the technique of stream-of-consciousness fiction. All the artistic techniques of stream-of-consciousness literature are well represented in this novel. Linguistically, Western critics consider Ulysses to be one of two novels that made a significant contribution to the English language of the 20th century, the other being Lolita by American writer Nabokov.
Another of Joyce's works, The Awakening of Finnegan, pushes the style of stream-of-consciousness fiction to the extreme. The book is written in 65 languages and is extremely obscure. Joyce was the most accomplished stream-of-consciousness writer and represented the pinnacle of this literary genre. ”
