Abstract
The article examines the interplay of time’s variance and time’s invariance in Richard McGuire’s graphic novel Here by studying narrative and visual constructions of hereness as an intrinsic part of places in relation to their ever-changing timescapes. It argues that the intensity and ingenuity of McGuire’s narrative resides in the seamless bridging of time and space that generates multiple, heterogeneous dimensionalities that become simultaneously present. By engaging the reader’s interaction, Here makes full use of imaginative modality and mobility to construct a narrative space that becomes temporally charged, a space in which the past and the future meet in the moving now.

Abstract
This article explores the complex relations between modality and narrative articulation of time by studying the imaginary’s capacity to project new possibilities and modalities. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricoeur, Wolfgang Iser, Mikhail Epstein and others, it examines the specific mode in which the possible is both created in fictional works and co-shapes their temporal virtuality. It argues that modalizing dynamics of the as-if strongly contribute to the fictive experience of time and correspondingly sketches a phenomenological account of potentiation as engaged directly in the narrative rendering of time in literary works.

This interdisciplinary volume of essays explores how the notion of time varies across disciplines by examining variance as a defining feature of temporalities in cultural, creative, and scholarly contexts. Featuring a President’s Address by philosopher David Wood, it begins with critical reassessments of J.T. Fraser’s hierarchical theory of time through the lens of Anthropocene studies, philosophy, ecological theory, and ecological literature; proceeds to variant narratives in fiction, video games, film, and graphic novels; and concludes by measuring time’s variance with tools as different as incense clocks and computers, and by marking variance in music, film, and performance art.
