- W893843385 abstract "Almost one hundred and fifty years after the first publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll’s book is still widely read by people of all ages and nationalities. Its several puns, logic games and comical characters present a world of nonsense and apparent chaos that cannot be explained according to the rules of scientific knowledge or common sense. When falling through the rabbit hole, Alice finds herself lost in a land inhabited by speaking animals, mythological creatures, living cards, and other strange beings. But, above all, what she ultimately meets is a universe in which arbitrariness seems to be the predominant law. Being thus confronted with the intrinsic differences between the systems through which her world and Wonderland operate, Alice has difficulty in finding the meaning of things, and in understanding the behavior of the inhabitants of that place. This dissonance is most clearly represented through the divergent workings of time. Which one is right, after all: Alice’s or the Mad Hatter’s clock? Is time to be referred to as a person, as the Mad Hatter does, or as a natural phenomenon? Does time constitute a linear progression from past, to present and to future, or is it like a circular race, with no definite starting and ending points, as the Caucus-race? The objective of this work, therefore, is to analyze these questions concerning the functional disparities between the workings of Alice s world and the workings of Wonderland. The focus of the analysis lies on the representations of time as they appear in the story. For that purpose, four scenes were examined more attentively: (a) the fall into the White Rabbit s hole; (b) the Caucus Race; (c) the Mad Hatter s Tea Party and (d) the Mock Turtle’s story. The comments about the different aspects of time are supported by ideas of different thinkers on the subject, from Saint Augustine to Frank Kermode." @default.
