Email this article Enacting chronology. Language and time in Chiang’s “Story of Your Life” and Villeneuve’s Arrival
Abstract
Abstract – This paper examines Ted Chiang’s novella “Story of Your Life” from the point of view of its treatment of the interconnected themes of language and time, and of its relation to the recent film adaptation Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Among the issues discussed is the debt owed by both Chiang’s story and Villeneuve’s film to the writings of Benjamin Lee Whorf and Jorge Luis Borges.
