Michiel van Eijck (m.w.v.eijck@tue.nl) presented an interesting paper at the
recent NARST conference, in which he uses chronotope for theorizing
"place-based learning" generally and the question of traditional (Native
American) knowledge in particular. Cheers, Michael

Bakhtin's original use of chronotope was somewhat like the modern use of
"genre", but in a more specific sense. He observed that historically there
were many narrative literary genres that could be considered precursors of
the novel, and that each could be defined by the ways in which the story line
moved characters through time and space.
Today I think the meaning retains the original sense that trajectories
through time and space are important, and that repeating/repeated patterns in
such trajectories give us a way of talking about activity (including
discourse) that pays attention to the fact that life is lived across places
and timescales.

Would it be fair to define the word chronotope as the time and space
helping to define the meaning of a dialogue? Late coming to the study of
this powerhouse.
