Narrative Strategy And Literary Rhetoric

People as individuals, in time for the past ignorance and curiosity, andwe find the need of "root" and get a sense of belonging, prompted us to ask “what isthe history”,“how to write history". History, on the one hand, refers to the events ofwhat happened in the past time; On the other hand, it is refers to the historian of pastresearch and writing. And the nature, the respect such as function of history, is thephilosophy of history. From Voltaire, for the first time to use the word "philosophy ofhistory", the western philosophy of history had two steering, three phases:epistemology steering, linguistic turn; speculative philosophy of history, analysis of orcritical historical philosophy and philosophy of history of narrative (F·R·Ankersmit).Historical philosophy of "linguistic turn" refers to the historical research focus isturning to the history of the text language level, from the language level to findfictionalized history text, imaginative, ideology, think history text not truereappearance of the past, but is the product of historians personal construct.Hayden white, the study of historical text constructive and fiction, is mainlyengaged in text form of stories, that historians, before weaving the story of wholestory process has a kind of poetic structure. And the structure of the historical stories,experiences the plot structure and form of demonstration and explanation of ideologycontains three levels, each level explanation has four commonly used modes. But thedeep structure of historical writing, or to find in the history of language, think thiskind of deep structure determines the white historians mode of integration of theinterpretation of the historical story, metonymy, metaphor, synecdoche, and ironyquad escape mode. White text to study history in the form of literature research, met with many, its historical explanation of relativism idea was suspected to be eventuallyleads to a history of nothingness. This paper argues that white’s historical poeticsadvocates a more liberal, pluralistic, tolerant, historical research helps in a widerrange of respect for different voice, at the same time, the foundation of theintersubjectivity as criticism, reflection on the ideas, evaluation, may help us to agreeon a certain problem, and due to the recognized as the most real and get the mostreasonable, avoid historical explanation by relativism sliding into the nothingness ofhistory.
