| Abstract | The Vienna-based project 'Time archives' which focuses on an analysis of the construction of time in Medieval Europe in the first millennium, will be presented in two sessions that continue last year’s introduction. The six papers will concentrate on different aspects of time perception and time theories. Firstly fundamental theories, such as the philosophical time analysis of Augustine, which was the model for many later treatises on the topic, some of which will be presented (Corradini). A second paper problematises the early-medieval relationship between time and work (Meens). The perspective is completed by a paper that concentrates on expressions of Carolingian dynastic history which can be traced in the complex of royal funerary monuments, manuscripts and liturgy at Lorsch (Tischler). Two papers focus on the 'pragmatical ' uses of time in medieval chronicles, on a general level (Sennis) and with the example of Ado of Vienne (Palmer). In a further paper the apocalyptical narrative in the chronicle of Sulpicius Severus as a final time concept is investigated (Wieser). All papers include an analysis of the different ways of using resources of time and temporal expressions in the Early Middle Ages. |
