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.
