A Hermeneutical Reading of a Postmodern British Novel. Time and Narrative in David Lodge's “Thinks...”. The present paper investigates two aspects of a postmodern British novel. From a narratological perspective, we will examine the ways in which time - as a theme, on the one hand, and as a fictional issue, on the other - is constructed in David Lodge's “Thinks…”. Leaving behind post-structuralist instruments of analysis (deconstructive reading practices), the article will argue in favor of a more nuanced approach by showing the advantages of utilizing hermeneutical and phenomenological instruments in exploring postmodernist techniques of emplotment.
REZUMAT. O lectură hermeneutică a unui roman britanic postmodern. Timp și narațiune în romanul “Thinks...” semnat de David Lodge. Lucrarea de față investighează două aspecte ale unui roman britanic postmodern. Adoptând o perspectivă naratologică, vom examina modurile în care timpul - atât ca temă, dar romanul și ca problematică literară - e construit în romnul “Thinks...” semnat de David Lodge. Lăsând la o parte instrumentele post-structuraliste (și, în special, lectura deconstrucționistă), articolul demonstrează avantajele utilizării unor instrumente hermeneutice și/sau fenomenologice în vederea explorării tehnicilor de compoziție postmoderniste.
Cuvinte cheie: hermeneutică, timp, naratologie, postmodernism, lectură, fenomenologie.
