Time, Tempo, and Storytelling. From Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages
International workshop
Tübingen, 29-31 July 2026
This workshop explores how late antique and early medieval historians used time as a narrative tool. Rather than treating chronology as a neutral backdrop, it asks how authors of chronicles, letters, hagiography, and homilies manipulated narrative time — its pace, sequence, gaps, and repetitions — to shape their audiences' understanding of historical meaning. Across three days, scholars analyse texts from c.300 to c.1100, ranging across the East and West, to explore how time was used to convey ideas on imperial crisis, political justification, exile, violence, sacred life, and memoria.
