Up until the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the form of the novelcoincided with narrative form, that is, narrative order, which is perhaps the only constraint the novel wasforced to obey. Starting from a new experience and perception of time, much experimentation carriedout by modernism revolves precisely around the erosion of narrative: breaking the limits of Aristotelianmimesis, searching for a different notion (and practice) of ¡°realism¡±. In conclusion, the essay invitesreaders to reflect on the novel-form today, questioning whether the provocative and disruptive force ofmodernism¡¯s experimentation still belongs to our contemporary literary horizon. %K Narrative %K modernism %K Faulkner %K contemporary %K time %U http://www.impossibilia.org/static/descargas/numero-4/william-faulkner-calendari-orologi-altri-disperati-tentativi-dominare-tempo-donata-meneghelli.pdf
