Narrative Worlds and the Texture of Time (eBook, ePUB)

A Social-Semiotic Perspective

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together a model of time and a model of language to generate a new model of narrative, where different stories with different temporalities and non-chronological modes of sequence can tell of different worlds of human - and non-human - experience, woven together (the 'texture of time') in the one narrative.

Preface
1 Human consciousness and the dual experience of time felt and time
