Subject: Time and Memory in Narrative (12/2/05;
collection)
Call for Papers: Time and Memory in Narrative
Proposals are invited for a collection of essays
entitled Time and
Memory
in Narrative. Papers may address any aspect of the
representation of
time
and memory in narrative. Philosophical and theoretical
perspectives are
encouraged, which may be tested through application to
one or several
narrative texts.
Topics may include, but are not restricted to: linear
versus non-linear
representations of time in narrative; competing
theories of time
(cyclic,
static, sequential, etc.) and the challenges they pose
to narrative
representations of memory; the relationship of being,
selfhood or
consciousness to time and memory as manifested in
narrative; the
narrative
presentation of memories and their relation to
biography, the real,
truth
or known facts; the contribution of memory and/or
narrative temporality
to
the construction or representation of character; and
the relationship
between memory and/or temporal sequence and narrative
structure.
Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches
are encouraged, as
are
comparative approaches to literature and to genre.
Suggested
philosophers
and theorists who may be referenced include, but are
not limited to:
Aristotle, Barthes, Bergson, Derrida, Einstein,
Genette, Hegel,
Heidegger,
Husserl, Kant, McTaggart, Ricoeur.
