56 Facets of focalization (perceptive, psychological, ideological)
The Perceptual facet is determined by time, space
Space -
External/internal position of the focalizer, takes the form of the limited observer. The classical position of a narrator focalizer, yield a panoramic view or simultaneous focalization of things.
Simultaneous focalization is impossible when focalization is attached to a character or to an unpersonified position internal to story.
Time -
External focalization is panchronic in the case of an unpersonified focalizer, retrospective in the case of a character focalizing his own past.
Internal focalization is synchronous with the information, regulated by the focalizer.
External focalization has at his disposal all the temporal dimensions of the story internal is limited to the presence.
The Psychological facet
The cognitive component - knowledge, belief, memory
External focalizer knows everything about the represented world.
Internal focalizer being apart of the represented world, he can not know everything.
The emotive opposition - yields objective and subjective focalization. Indicators of external focalizer: “it seemed to him, he knew, apparently‘
3) The Ideological facet - norms of the text consist of a general system of viewing the world conceptually in accordance with which the events and characters are evaluated.
