A Research On David Harvey's "Spatio-temporal Matrix" Theory In Literature And Art

Space category is continual concerned by Harvey after he entering the academic."Spatio-temporal Matrix" is a interpretation frame that Harvey's give a "general clarification" to the concept of space,and it also stands for the maturity of Harvey's space theory.Harvey has a clear objection to the postmodern society,culture and literary theory.He also opposed that the "spatial turn" in "spatial metaphor",which deconstruct the “meta-narrative”.In theory,relying on the unique geographical perspective and combining with the classical Marxism,Harvey created the dialectical "historical-geographical materialism" revision and reconstructed the traditional metatheory of Marxism."Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory is Harvey's "meta" interpretation framework of the space concept.According to the research path of the intellectual history,the diachronic combing of Harvey's view of space is the basic part when we study the context of Harvey's space theory.The academic background of Harvey's concept of space(space genealogy and geography perspective)and the interpretation framework of Harvey's space theory(the mature process of the "Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory)are the foundation of his literature and art theory.This is the basis of the research work to explore the " Spatio-temporal Matrix ".The "Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory,as an off-field theory,need to confront the legitimate question of legitimacy when it comes to explain the literature and art.In Harvey's related works,he didn't clearly establish his own theory in literary and art.Therefore,with the help of some basic ideas and discussions in Harvey's writings,we can demonstrate the possibility of "Spatio-temporal Matrix" theory in literary and art.In Harvey's academic interest,the criticism of contemporary capitalist space production is an important ideological part to Harvey's "Spatio-temporal Matrix" literary and art criticism.At the same time,the "Spatio-temporal Matrix" theory in literature and art is also reflecting on the present situation and theory of literary and artistic.The "Spatio-temporal Matrix" theory in literature and art has the critical characteristics like growth,openness and material reality."Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory is not only updating the understanding of literature and art of space and time pattern,which gives birth to the generation of the new paradigm,the nature of its metatheory also makes its criticism framework keeps an open mind to the literature and art.In addition,the material reality in absolute space is the logical beginning of his critical interpretation work in the "Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory,which is the most fundamental criticism feature for it.This provides us with a new way to reflect the "spatial metaphor" in post-modern theory and thinking about the old propositions of history,culture and trauma memory in literature and art."Spatio-temporal Matrix" discourse theory has opened up a new perspective and deep interpretation space for the literary theory in the new century,which has maked an abundant meaning of the theory and the social culture.At the same time,there are also some inevitable theoretical defects such as the limitation of the absolute space of the "Spatio-temporal Matrix",the exhaustive interpretation of the "dead angle" and the potential "violence" in the interpretation of the text.We are supposed to hold a dialectical perspective to evaluate Harvey's "Spatio-temporal Matrix" theory in literature and art.
