SUMMARY:Does Time Always Pass? 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.
