Temporalities in Sc ientific Narratives, London, England DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190530 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190531 LOCATION:London, England DESCRIPTION:The standard view of narrative is inex tricably bound up with the passage of time. Narrat ive scholars are convinced that time is an essenti al element in any narrative, and it has been thoug ht equally essential, though treated in different ways, by philosophers of history. But exactly how to think about time in the narratives of science i s not self-evident. And if we look at how scientis ts use time in narratives, we see a number of diff erent ways in which it is taken into account and i s deployed. In this workshop, organised as a coll aboration between the Narrative Science Project an d The Royal Institution, the focus will be on the different temporalities in narratives as they occu r in scientific discourses. The obvious loci for s uch explorations are what are generally referred t o as the historical sciences, that is, those that seek to reconstruct the past on the basis of what can be observed in the present. However, time and its narrative expression are to be found in a wide variety of places, some of which will be explored by the speakers at the workshop. Throughout the w orkshop, the question of how essential time is to narrative will remain open for argument. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n
