{"product_id":"time-and-imagination-bart-keunen-9780810127647","title":"Time and Imagination: Chronotopes in Western Narrative Culture","description":"Bart Keunen's boldly comprehensive theory of literature springs from the synthesis between narrative time and space forms called the chronotope (from the Greek chronos \"time\" and topos \"place\"). The originator of the theory, Mikhail Bakhtin, argued that each literary culture and each genre uses a family of chronotopes that endow the cultures and genres with their specific aesthetic charm, as well as their cognitive and moral strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter constructing an archeology of the chronotope, Keunen proposes a remarkably original description of the various types of chronotopes. Chronotypes that emphasize conflict are using Greek mythological names to explain equilibrium, or reconciliation, and conflict chronotopes. He then develops a plot typology that covers the whole history of Western narrative culture. With examples and resonances both ancient and modern, Keunen's \u003ci\u003eTime and Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e will equip theorists in a wide range of fields with powerful tools for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bart Keunen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810127644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810127647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Bart Keunen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086904045823,"sku":"9780810127647","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63005d18-06d2-4a2d-8e7c-8f9c8f717256.jpg?v=1769097236","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-and-imagination-bart-keunen-9780810127647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
