Collective Narratives: The Narrator and his/her Texts
Release Year:
2020
Publish Date: 31 December 2020 10:00:00 UTC
Story:
The section will focus on the relationship between the narrator and the texts he/she is going to face. Texts can be roughly treated as the materials of the oeuvre. The texts will be discussed within an extensive meaning, divided into two categories: legacy and impressions, including the chosen predecessor models, mythical prototypes, the past’s legacy, fixed formulas; impressions from the living environment, traumatic memories, values, etc. The legacy lies in the languages of art, and the impressions lie in the revision of the language, which is perhaps even more important for contemporary art. The qualification and expectation of these texts is that they must have been deformed through the subjective filter of the narrator. The narrator can be the author, the protagonist, and the viewer, thus the text will naturally change with the narrator's identity. If one assumes that the text is objectively existent and non-fictional, one would seem to have to face the charge of fiction after the narrator's choice of memory, empathy and extraction.
