Time is one of the basic categories of human experience, but is peculiarly subject to cultural construction. This unit, as well as looking at the ways in which time has been conceptualised, past and present, will examine a variety of texts, 'ancient' and 'modern', to see how different types of writing and representation at different periods play with notions of time and with the human experience of time to create different effects and to explore questions of morality and knowledge.
