Abstract: The passage of time has historically been marked in many ways: trough the passing of seasons, the mechanics of clocks, the motions of the planets; but also trough the passing of the ages and epochs. Temporality appears as a territory that men divide with the most varied tools. Narration is one of these tools, which is able to impose an order on a rather chaotic succession of events. This role attributed to the narration makes it a privileged place to analyze a theme like time, as elusive as it is omnipresent.

This volume thus sets out to investigate the connection between text and time, and it does so from two different perspectives. A first part focusses on how time is rendered within the texts, underling how language and narration understand and translate its flow. A second section collects contributions that have proposed a different (but complementary) perspective on the problem. Rather than focusing attention on the Time in the text, these essays have chosen to emphasize the Time of the text, investigating how historical contingency (arch its changing) have affected literary writings and linguistic phenomena.
