In Chronoschisms Ursula Heise explores the way developments in
transportation, communication and information technology have led
to the emergence of a different culture of time in Western
societies. The radical transformation in our understanding and
experience of time has also profoundly affected the structure of
the novel. Heisse argues that postmodern novels are centrally
concerned with the possibility of experiencing time in an age when
temporal horizons have been drastically foreshortened. Drawing on
theories of postmodernism and narratology, she shows how postmodern
narratives break up the concept of plot into a spectrum of
contradictory story lines. The coexistence of these competing
experiences of time then allows new conceptions of history and
posthistory to emerge, and opens up comparisons with recent
scientific approaches to temporality. This wide-ranging study
offers readings of postmodernist theory and fresh insight into the
often vexed relationship between literature and science.
