The paper surveys five major perspectives on studying time in fiction: narratology, history of temporal regimes, temporal pluralism, aesthetics of time, and politics of time. It argues that these approaches have so far remained largely unintegrated, leading to a separation between areas of literary criticism that are in reality closely linked. In particular, some approaches separate time as subject from time as the principal element of narratives. Some approaches disregard the transhistorical plurality of temporal experiences, while others turn a blind eye to larger historical changes in the perception of time. Finally, some scholars choose to focus only on temporal aesthetics, while others explore only the fictional politics of time. Scrutinizing these three schisms of studying time in literary criticism, the paper argues for a re-integrated approach that accommodates insights from various disciplines and adopts a broader perspective on time and temporality in fiction.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major change in everyday life and also reinvigorated the theoretical and political discussion on the temporal rhythms of social existence. Taking the situation of the coronavirus crisis as a starting point, the present paper attempts to provide the outlines of a theoretical account of social deceleration, a topic that has been hitherto barely explored in the field of social studies of time. In view of the complexity of the phenomenon, a distinction is made between two ways of theoretically approaching it, namely, a descriptive and a normative perspective. The paper proceeds in three steps: First, upon adopting a descriptive perspective, it advances a definition of social deceleration and proposes a typology of its different manifestations. The second step analyzes the coronavirus crisis as a process of partial deceleration of social life. The final step gives an overview of the current normative, i.e., ethical-political, disputes over social speed.

Cisiojanus is what we call a medieval mnemonic device designed to provide temporal orientation by transforming the sequence of immovable religious feast days into a short and memorable poem. Mapping the sacred calendar onto a textual surface enabled its user to determine dates by counting the poem’s syllables, words or lines. As an integral part of elementary education, the cisiojanus is believed to have been one of the most popular poems of the Middle Ages. It survived in hundreds of copies all over Europe and was translated into numerous languages. While the cisiojanus formed what could be one of the largest premodern, text-based temporal communities, it also adapted to the requirements of its users, leading to an astonishing amount of nearly identical, yet significally different poems. This article explores different cisiojani as individual perspectives on time. While some make adjustments for regional and local variants of the calendar, some even bear witness to personal interpretations of the calendar.
