metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the little-studied narratological category of “ethos” of narration, introduced
  into narratology by the developing “neorhetoric”. The author assumes that contemporary
  narratology has as its subject the formation and retranslation of the event experience of
  personal presence in the world. The article argues that the ethical potential of narratology
  lies not in the discussion of moral values, but in the identification of moral dominants to
  which a particular narrative corresponds. This aspect of narrative practices, first proposed
  by Paul Ricoeur, is examined in the historical perspective of the formation and change of the
  dominant narrative pictures of the world in culture: precedent, imperative, occasional (adventurous),
  and probabilistic. This makes it possible to identify four basic ethos — peace, duty,
  desire, and conscience — in the course of the historically natural (phasic) emergence of narrative
  from myth and its further development. Belonging to one of the narrative ethos under
  consideration is a profound characteristic of the narrative work, the least studied so far. It is
  erroneous to judge a narrative ethos on the basis of the ethical reasoning of the narrator or the
  characters. The main mechanism for generating narrative meaning is intrigue: not as a plot
  scheme, but as a specific chain of episodes in their constructive delimitations and couplings,
  realized by the focalization and verbalization of the text. In this respect, narratology should
  not forget the literary experience of the aesthetic analysis of artistic masterpieces. The analytical
  argumentation is illustrated in the article with references to folklore, literary and biblical
  texts of various speech genres.
