In this essay I use Mikhail Bakhtins theory of the chronotope to come to a deeper understanding of the spatio-temporal relationships in Momo and the Time Thieves. I use it to investigate the chronotopic structure of childhood, how it relates to the idea of the idyll, threshold experiences and heterotopic and liminal chronotopes. There is also a discussion on the function of mythic and linear time in building the narrative, and how Ende reverses and subverts some of the given patterns of myth, folklore and fantasy to create a dialogue between chronotopes and genres. / <p>Slutgiltigt godkännandedatum: 2023-05-31</p>
