Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Catching Time updates our theories of narrative time, providing the first book-length study of enactive time in narrative. It proposes a new method for the analysis of narrative time which takes into account the fact that time is produced through our bodies in action and interaction with the surrounding world.
MoreLong description:
'Time travels in divers paces with divers people.' Shakespeare’s oft-quoted line contains a hidden ambiguity: not only do individual people experience time differently, but time travels in diverse paces when we are with diverse persons. The line articulates a contemporary understanding of subjective time: it is changed by interaction with our social environment. Interacting with other people—and even literary characters—can slow or quicken the experience of time. Interactive time, and the paradigm of enactive cognition in which it sits, calls for an expansion of traditional ideas of time in narrative. The first book-length study of interactive time in narrative, Catching Time explains how lived time and narrative time interpenetrate each other, so that the relational model of subjective time acts as a narrative function. Catching Time develops a novel, interdisciplinary framework, drawing on cognitive science, narratology, and linguistics, to understand the patterns of temporality that shape narrative.
“A clear, poignant, and expansive contribution to understanding temporality in literature, Catching Time brings neuroscience, literature, cultural studies, environmental studies, and object studies together into the now.” Sam Kolodezh, University of California, San Diego
