Funded Activity Summary

Chronometrics: Cross-Temporal Approaches to Literature and Culture. The aim of this project is to produce a comparative cultural history of time, with particular emphasis on how temporality has been represented in literary works from the Middle Ages to the present day. Tracking the genealogy of temporality is expected to raise important questions about relationships between literature and history, and about ways in which cultural artifacts of various kinds interact with the environment that produces them. The project also aims to explore how Australian conceptions of temporality serve to highlight aspects of the sequence of time that have been implicit, though largely suppressed, in other cultures. The major output planned is a significant monograph on this topic.
