On The Narrative Of Dialogue In Yu Hua 's Novels Since The 1990s

Abstract:In social life, the dialogue is the path of the exchange of human emotions, the carrier of the heritage of human civilization and also a kind of philosophy mode of thinking. To get rid of the cognitive difficulties and social problems caused by modern philosophy of subjectivity, Western philosophers put forward a new philosophical thinking, the intersubjectivity. The new thinking constructs a world where there is equality among subjects. In this world, subjects communicate with languages and promote the self cognition, enhance mutual understanding in the dialogues.As a kind of philosophical thinking, the philosophy of dialogue ushered in thefull development in the twentieth century. Dialogue is the core of Bakhtin’s philosophy, aesthetics and literary thought, is a historic platform of Gadamer understanding, is the bridge of Habermas’ intersubjective communicative rationalization and is the necessity of Heidegger’s poetic dwelling. With many philosophers paying much attention to the dialogue, the dialogue theory has gradually been applied in philosophy, aesthetics and literature criticism. In the field of literature, the text and linguistic signs of literature makes dialogue possible on the level of literature.This essay tries to use the method of close reading to give a more vivid overview on Yu Hua’s literary creation in the90’s within the broad view of dialogue culture. Since the90’s, Yu Hua’s five novels have taken the dialogue narration to construct text. Readers were guided into different dimensions of the text by the intrinsic motivation of the dialogues, which made the composite dialogue among the author, the text and the readers. On the one hand, it promotes the development of the plot, shows the characters’thoughts and emotions, shapes the character images, creates a real atmosphere, shortens the distance between the reader and the text and let readers feel like they are personally on the scene. On the other hand, limited by the uncertainty in the dialogue, it brings challenges to the readers’ acceptance so to inspire readers to think about the meaning of the text.
