TIME CATEGORIES IN THE NOVELS OF MILOVAN DJILAS LAND WITHOUT JUSTICE AND MONTENEGRO

Summary/Abstract: The simultaneous presentation of the narrative reality as one of the important features of the modern novel, enabled the author that within the time constrains of the narrative structure of the novels Land Without Justice and Montenegro, has modelled a large number of characters (especially in the description of the preparation, the beginning and the course of the Battle of Mojkovac) and brought, at the same time, numerous abstract terms according which the recipient gets impression of the enlargement of the objectively narrated temporal paradigm. Using the different time plans (the past, present and future), the narrative consciousness reflected the ambivalent and temporal structure of the novel in which the omnitemporality – the narrator’s omnipresence in the space and time of the story, achieves its existence through the complex anachronism. Both temporal categories of the past (distant and near past), as well as the narrative present in the novels Land Without Justice and Montenegro have been depicted exclusively from the internal, synchronous point of view. In the both novels the narrator’s and the author’s points of view complete coincide, suggesting the conclusion that the time of the novel is primarily subjective. The chronological order of the narrative structure of these novels has been subsequently established by the dismissal of the time categories (past, present and future tense), and depicted through the different stories in the temporal paradigm which present alternatively dismissal of time anachronism (analepsi, prolepsis, ellipses) that, at the level of the narrative text, established the complex temporal pattern.
