"Foregrounding"and"Dominant":Chronotope and Cross-media Narrative
After the"separation"of the arts,there are two ways to develop the arts of a particular medium:to seek"purity"or to seek"differences".The so-called"purity"means to bring into play and strengthen the characteristics of a specific medium to develop the art as a category;the so-called"difference"is what we call cross-border integration or cross-media narrative.There are three basic types of cross-media narratives:the mutual imitation between temporal art and spatial art;the mutual imitation between one spatial art and another spatial art;and the mutual imitation between one temporal art and an-other temporal art.The first of the above three is the most dominant type of cross-media narrative.In any case,we can apply Mukarovsky's concept of"foregrounding"and Jacobson's concept of"dominant"and combine them with Bakhtin's theory of chronotope to get a reasonable explanation.All literary and ar-tistic works are chronotope,the so-called cross-media narrative is nothing but violating or deviating from the essential characteristics of the artistic medium,and the spatial element,originally in the"back-ground"position,is foregrounded to become the"dominant"element,and in paintings and other spatial art narratives,the temporal element,originally in the"background"position,is foregrounded to become the"dominant"element.
