“…63 By employing GIS in conjunction with Bakhtin's 'Historical Poetics' Kavanagh's literary and biographical landscapes become 'not only 'graphically visible' in space, but also 'narratively visible' in time.' 64 Kavanagh's spatial performances in Inniskeen parish (Figure 3) convey such a perspective; once a centering 'idyllic' pattern, it now conveys, when juxtaposed against his streetscape perambulations in Dublin ( Figure 5) the 'cyclical' spatial pattern of an insular, and closed system, represented in The Great Hunger,…”

Drawing upon previous theoretical and practical work in historical and qualitative applications of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), this paper, in Giles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's terminology, conceptualizes GIS as 'an abstract machine' which plays a 'piloting role' which does not 'function to represent' something real, but rather 'constructs a real which is yet to come.' To illustrate this digital humanities mapping methodology, the essay examines Irish writer Patrick Kavanagh's novel The Green Fool (1938) and epic poem The Great Hunger (1946) and their respective contrasting topophilic and topophobic renderings of landscape, identity and sense of place under the lens M.M. Bakhtin's 'Historical Poetics' (chronotope) to illuminate GIS's ability to engage in spatio-discursive visualization and analysis. The conceptualizations and practices discussed in this paper reconsider GIS software/hardware/techniques as a means to engage subjects of concern to literary and cultural studies commensurate with the recent strong interest in the geographical and spatial dimensions of these cognate areas.

“…In sum, in Hamilton's fiction the pub and its neighbourhood are marked as distinctive dialogical landscapes (Folch-Serra, 1990) and chronotopes. The Midnight Bell is our locus, but it is only one of the 'hundreds and hundreds' of taverns in the area (PC, p. 333).…”

This paper considers the time and the place of drinking in modern British life, as represented in Patrick Hamilton's trilogy of novels set in the publand of London's West End in the interwar years, through Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope and with critical nods to Hagerstrand's time -geography corpus. The chronotopes of pubs and their neighbourhoods, which we term 'publand', are discussed initially in their novelistic presentation in Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky (1935), and then in relation to the 'character zones' of the novels' principal protagonists. The key themes, defined in the paper, are the asynchronicity of personal and social relations, the dialogic construction of heterochronicity, and the presentation of a prosaic chronotope. Though the paper is a contribution to literary geography, we aim to contribute to the cultural geographic understanding of the time -space rhythms and routines of everyday leisure drinking, making claims for the wider significance of chronotopic analysis.Temps-géographie, messieurs, s'il vous plaît: chronotopes du paysage du pub dans la trilogie de Londres de Patrick Hamilton Cet article considère le temps et l'espace de la consommation de la boisson dans la vie moderne britannique, telle qu'elle est représentée dans les romans de la trilogie de Patrick Hamilton qui se situent dans le paysage des pubs du quartier de West End à Londres pendant l'entre-deux-guerres. Les paysages et les paysages du temps de la consommation de la boisson sont analysés principalement à travers le concept de chronotope de Mikhail Bakhtin, en passant par le corpus de time -geography de Hagerstrand. Nous discutons des chronotopes des pubs et du voisinage environnant que nous appelons « paysage de pub » par rapport aux « zones de personnages » des protagonistes principaux des romans; les thèmes clés, définis dans l'article, sont l'asynchronicité des rapports personnels et sociaux, une approche dialogique de la temporalité ainsi que du langage, suggérant l'hétérochronicité et le fin du fin de la présentation « réaliste » d'un chronotope prosaïque. Bien qu'étant avant tout une contribution à la géographie littéraire, l'article vise à contribuer à notre compréhension culturelle géographique des rythmes d'espace-temps et des routines quotidiennes de consommation de boisson liée aux loisirs, mettant en avant l'importance de portée plus générale de l'analyse chronotopique.Geografía temporal, señ ores, por favor: los cronotopos de publand en la trilogía londinense de Patrick Hamilton Este trabajo considera la hora y el lugar de beber en la vida británica moderna, como se representa en la trilogía de novelas de Patrick Hamilton ambientadas en aéreas cercanas a bares en el extremo oeste de Londres en los años de entreguerras. Los paisajes y el tiempo del consumo de alcohol se analizan principalmente a través del concepto de cronotopo de Mijail Bajtin, con inclinaciones críticas hacia el corpus de la geografía temporal de Hagerstrand. Los cronotopos de bares y el barrio abarcado por los mismos, ...

“…Consequently, following Einstein, in the chronotope neither space nor time can be privileged over one another. Rather, chronotopes should be seen as "places of intersection of temporal and spatial sequences" (Folch-Serra, 1990: 261) that force us to recognize a "fused" sense of space and time. To study the chronotope, is to study space and time as inseparable entities.…”

Space, time and nature: exploring the public reception of biotechnology in New Zealand

Nature is widely acknowledged to be a fluid, contested, material-semiotic construction, historically and spatially grounded. This is certainly the case for New Zealand, where a number of constructions of nature have been mobilized as a means to make judgements over the viability of particular biotechnologies that have entered into public debate. In this paper, we utilize Mikhail Bakhtin's space-time matrix, the chronotope, to explore a series of complementary nature-narratives that have been mobilized as a moral basis for making judgments over the acceptability of a series of exemplars of novel biotechnologies that were presented to participants in eleven national focus groups. We argue that it is the specific space-time manipulations that characterize these sometimes overlapping narrative constructions that are used to justify reactions to novel biotechnologies.
