FABULA – Research in literature. Online Seminars
What is literary and/or artistic time? What is time in literature and the arts? Or what is time for a writer, a painter, a photographer, a director?
The first difficulty encountered by those who wonder about time as it is practised and as literature and the arts represent it is that of formulating the question that occupies them: how, in what terms, does the problem of time in literature and the arts arise? Is time, in the literary and artistic context, a concept, a notion, a percept? Is time, for writers and artists, a theme, a motif, a tool, a medium?
Perhaps the most relevant and effective method is to consider the answer given by the artists before formulating the question(s) we would like to ask them. In any case, this is the choice made by the researchers who met for the symposium L’art, machine à voyager dans le temps (University of Haute-Alsace, Mulhouse, 22-25 March 2017). Rather than a concept or a notion, it is consequently a singular posture, that of the time traveller, and the creative and lectoral uses that it engenders that are at the heart of the studies gathered here.
