...Scott J. Juengel This essay sets out to think the novel in the time of catastrophe (which is always, necessarily, to think after catastrophe; which is to say, finally, that I want to think in the chronotope of mass death). I couch this in the Bakhtinian concept of the chronotope—so integral to his...

... prose.) To cover these various treatments of durational experience, meaning, and form, Yahav proposes the term “sensibility chronotope”: “[S]horthand for the temporal underpinnings of a culture that features a wide-ranging set of commitments to sensation, emotion, reflection, and sociability” (5...

... and Virginia Woolf's construction, this article proposes empty-house-time as a distinctive narrative chronotope, one that nineteenth- and twentieth-century British writers use to investigate the processes of realist fiction, especially its affective dimensions. Taking the character-less built environment...

...Eleni Coundouriotis This article discusses the chronotope of humanitarian emergencies in realist fiction. Novels that depict the effects of prolonged and extreme insecurity often include improbable figures, characters in which they invest a hope for the future and who are presented as inventive...

... to spaces—or more properly chronotopes—of mobility in the adventure lineage, such as spaces of dangerous passages outside the domain of organized top-down control. These chronotopes of dangerous passage range from the open roads traveled by Lazarillo and Don Quixote or Moll Flanders to the high seas...

...-geographical moments (that is, using a somewhat different figuration of Bakhtin 's chronotope ) to broader considerations of the lands in and of the novel. The coincidence seemed to call for this special issue. After soliciting the remarkably insightful SNS conference keynote addresses by Ngũgĩ wa...

.... Bakhtin identifies each moment in cultural history with a distinctive “chronotope,” a particular fusion of spatial and temporal indicators that provides not only a collective understanding of the cultural environment, but also the “formally constitutive category [that] determines . . . the image of man...

... on a possible action, real or deferred. 1 This arrest of movement, actual or potential, represents a new chronotopic foundation for the novel, a break in the “intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships” expressed in the classic chronotopes: the road, the salon, the threshold...

..., and bodily disorientation in Scott. Plot is thus foundationally based in what the book calls “the background,” or the setting (6). In this regard, one hopes the reader of Novel will think of Mikhail Bakhtin's great concept of the chronotope, the narrative space-time of any story, which sets determinate...

... begin to happen, seemed to have been generated out of the novel itself. Unlike the kind of reading that prospected for holes in the text and attempted to depart to another land through those holes, the kind of reading the novel asked and even required me to do put me in motion on the chronotopic path...

.... Insoluble Geographies The first half of Lord ]im presents at least two different types of space-time rela- tions, what M. M. Bakhtin called chronotopes (84). Clearly borrowing from Don Quixote and Madame Bovary, Conrad interweaves the chronotope of the road with the chronotope of chivalric romance...

... not happen at any particular moment but grows at a calculable and predictable rate. Consequently, each deposit of mud, like every increment of interest, represents a unit of value as well as a unit of time. London's mud—its very soil—is folded into the rhythms of capital in chronotopic reciprocity. Thousands...

..., but it must transcend that of a single individual. Second is the novel’s representation of time and space. Anderson’s theory of the novel does not require that the plot should describe the emergence of an imagined community in any overt way. At stake, rather, is a shared chronotope: a social space...

...,” if not directly to biologism and vitalism (Lahusen and Kuperman 171). Another profound element of Bakhtin’s theory of the novel, the chronotope, was indebted to a lecture Bakhtin heard by the Russian biologist Aleksandr Ukhtomskii.

... immediacy, had for years placed on the black writer. But this is not to say that the question of genre is therefore unproblematic. It is worth bearing in mind that the chronotope that anchors Mda's narrative-that of impoverished "squatter camps" or "informal settlements" on the fringes...

... to think the chronotopic gap between war and peace. War usually tends to be portrayed as an utterly naturalistic universe, brutal and deterministic, only to be succeeded by sentimentalism and other aesthetic registers in order to facilitate the transition back to normalcy. In this way, the novels actively...

... one widespread response to the chronotope engendered by ubiquitous computation. Specifically, I argue that Diary and Satin Island narrativize the paranoid suspicion that the logic of big data has enclosed the world into a laboratory for rational planning and control. How, these novels ask, can one...

... usage in 2013. 3 Given Mikhail Bakhtin 's definition of the chronotope as a generically significant “fusion” of “spatial and temporal indicators” ( “Forms” 84 ), it would be possible to describe the Red Deeps as a chronotope for this unique variation of the female bildungsroman. 4 Henry...
