Fantasy Fiction and Chronotope:Realistic Issues in Bakhtin's Poetics
The fictional nature of literature proposed by Wellek conflicts with the literary theory of real-ism.The relationship between reality and fiction is the key to the construction of the literary theory of realism,and the chronotope has become an unavoidable problem.Bakhtin thinks that the fantasy fiction of polyphonic novels reveals the traditions of European literature and Russian culture.Square festivals are the ultimate root of understanding the essence of capitalism and Russian society,and learning from and thinking about Dostoevsky's personal experiences.The reality of square carnivalization and its way of perceiving the world have deeply influenced the content expression and textual form of Dostoevsky's novels,forming a chronotope concept that combines intermediate space and instantaneous time.Seen from the form and proportion of chro-notope,European novels have their specific temporal and spatial expressions and real-life place markers.Through the square's chronotope,the world of reality and fantasy,normality and grotesque,death and birth can be intertwined and transformed.Polyphonic novels reflect the highest significance of realism,and Bakhtin's poetics has promoted the further development of the literary theory of realism.
