海登.怀特从语言层面质疑传统的历史再现论,他的理论对传统的历史观造成了极大的冲击,特别是有力地挑战了传统的历史真实观念,迫使人们重新思考历史与语言的关联问题。他对历史真实性的挑战主要在三个方面:历史话语的虚构性,历史叙事的阐释性和评判历史再现标准的不稳定性。怀特并不否认历史叙事的真实性,但最终也没能解决历史再现中的真实性问题。他的理论为人们重新认识历史话语的性质提供了许多启示,也有助于文学叙事的研究。
Haydon White questioned the traditional theory of historical reappearance from the linguistic level. His theory had a tremendous impact on the traditional view of history. In particular, he strongly challenged the traditional concept of historical truth and forced people to rethink the relationship between history and language problem. His challenge to the authenticity of history is mainly in three aspects: the fictionality of historical discourse, the interpretativeness of historical narration and the instability of judging the standard of historical reproduction. White does not deny the authenticity of historical narrative, but ultimately failed to solve the authenticity of historical reappearance. His theory provides many enlightenments for people to re-understand the nature of historical discourse and also contributes to the study of literary narrative.
