The present volume is targeted at an interdisciplinary audience,
i.e. partly at literary scholars/narratologists interested in time
theory outside their field, and partly at scholars outside literary
studies who in turn would like to learn more about such concepts
created in narrative theory. The anthology assembles both
English-speaking and German contributions to a narrative theory of
time constructs which have thus far not been translated into
English, but have - directly or indirectly - inspired the
theoretical discourse across disciplines. The common methodological
focus of the articles assembled here concerns the way in which the
experience of chronological structure and ordering in (experienced
or imagined) phenomena can be traced back to a logic of time
"constructs". Narrative time constructs - that is: models of
chronological ordering which we generate while processing
narratively encoded information - constitute a particularly rich
body of examples. How we experience time is directly linked to how
we narrate information, and how we re-construct principles of
temporal ordering in the narrated content. The logic of narrative
time constructs has therefore been of interest not only to
narrative theory, but also to philosophy and cognitive science, and
more recently to computational approaches toward modelling human
time experience.
This anthology presents the results of the Second International
Colloquium of the Narratology Research Group (Hamburg University).
It engages in the exploration of approaches that broaden
Narratology's realm. The contributions illustrate the transcendence
of traditional models common to Narratology. They also reflect on
the relevance of such a 'going beyond' as seen in more general
terms: What interrelation can be observed between re-definition of
object domain and re-definition of method? What potential
interfaces with other methods and disciplines does the proposed
innovation offer? Finally, what are the repercussions of the
proposed innovation in terms of Narratology's self-definition? The
innovative volume facilitates the inter-methodological debate
between Narratology and other disciplines, enabling the
conceptualization of a Narratology beyond traditional Literary
Criticism.
