ABSTRACT

This article argues for reading the Roman de la Rose according to an asynchronous model of narrative time. In particular, this article shows that the Roman de la Rose explicitly thematizes and inscribes its reader within a non-linear praxis of reading that has consequences for how meaning is forged within vernacular verse narrative. It begins by establishing a view of narrative time, and the reader’s affective experience of time, according to an Augustinian model that allows for asynchronous experience to pass through a present moment of reading. The article then outlines the temporal orientations of Guillaume de Lorris’s and Jean de Meun’s poems, which it views as presenting distinct modes of reading the Roman de la Rose according to the dual functions of anticipation and memory.

摘要

本文主张根据叙事时间的异步模型阅读《罗马玫瑰》。特别是，这篇文章表明，《罗马玫瑰》明确地将其读者主题化并将其铭刻在非线性的阅读实践中，这对如何在白话文叙事中形成意义产生了影响。根据奥古斯丁式的模型，首先要建立叙述性的时间观，以及读者对时间的情感体验，该模型允许异步体验通过当前的阅读时刻。然后，文章概述了纪尧姆·德·洛里斯和让·德·梅恩的诗歌的时空取向，认为这代表了阅读罗马玫瑰的独特方式 根据预期和记忆的双重功能。
