Comics and literature are each in their own specific ways 'temporal arts', unfolding sequences of action, collapsing or contrasting story time and discourse time, and representing temporal sequences in narrative or visual-spatial ways. Of course, both media can also deviate from chronological or 'mechanically unfolding' time; they may work with flashbacks, flashforwards, and fragmentation, thus evoking, for instance, the layering of time and simultaneity. When literary texts and comics represent experiences of Otherness due to illness and/or disability, perceptions of time that deviate from normal chronometry (or chrononormativity) gain center stage. Earlier versions of most articles were presented at an international workshop convened by the "PathoGraphics" research group in cooperation with "AG Comicforschung".
