In Ricoeur’s usage “event” is not merely treated as discourse event. He bought “event” as literary object into his hermeneutics, which always related to “plot” in the field of narrative. Backtracking the traces of discourse, differentiating the levels of narrative discourse and rethinking the mechanism of meaning creation in narrative event, Ricoeur regards narrative as an “action” with internal driving force, and “event hermeneutics” thus constitutes a critical reflection on structuralist narratology. It reminds us that what is more important than summarizing a set of narrative knowledge “scientifically” is to keep curious about literature, events and their narratives, and to understand narrative skills and their potential for action. Ricoeur rejected structuralism and totalising theories, while he did not endow events with specific historical connotations, just obsessed with the explanations on the process of creating events at the level of humanistic academic discourse.
