Re: [xmca] Bahktin question
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.
