Transformations: Time in Culture, Literature, and Language

Abstrakt

“What, then, is time? There can be no quick and easy answer, for it is no simple matter even to understand what it is, let alone find words to explain it,” asserts St. Augustine in his Confessions (XI, 14, 263–264). It is perhaps surprising that, after nearly two millenia since the composition of the philosophical treatise, we still ponder time. This volume of the Perspectives on Culture [Perspektywy Kultury] continues the inquiry by engaging in a dialogue upon time and transformation discernible in social, cultural, and literary space.
