Abstract
So-called "represented", time in literary works used not to be considered as an object of a different kind from many other represented ones. In my opinion, however, there is a "represented", but permitted to be experienced time in those works which have a special construction, for instance, in Dos Passos's "U. S. A.". We find in this work, esp. in THE CAMERA EYE series, many a characteristic formal construction-spacing out of lines, non-use of capital letters (except for propernouns) and punctuation marks, etc. And such peculiarities give this series a strange appearance, compared with other series of description in this work. We should find in this repetition of EYE series a sort of time-experience. In consideration of the author's intentions, I have suggested a character of this time which ought to be "represented" but "experienced" as well.
