There are already many good references given here, but I would add Michel
Serres' account of narrative time in a classic essay, The Origin of
Language, in the collection Hermes -- Johns Hopkins Press, 1982.

Don't go by the title -- it's a wide ranging and brilliant essay linking
language and complex nonlinear systems, and one of the earliest uses of the
notion of "folded time" that I know, based on the mathematical analysis of
nonlinear dynamics, but presented in a humanist discourse.
