One of the most important contributions made by picture stories and comics to cultural and aesthetic engagements with temporal experience and structures is their depiction of temporality, tempo, and temporal dimensions. In the period under consideration (1900–1930), interest in these areas grew in the sciences and the arts, as well as in public discourse; likewise, fictional works testified to a fascination with temporality and its structures. In phase two, the project therefore will analyse how humorous picture stories and comics (distinguished in degree rather than in kind with respect to their stylistic techniques and their publication contexts) contribute to reflection on time. This analysis will take place with reference to intellectual discourses, popular and aesthetic/literary presentation forms, the publication formats of the works in question, and their positioning within these.The thematic emphasis of the project is on time, the temporal, and temporality, as well as their various modes of presentation at the structural and material levels. The publication of picture stories in periodicals raises the following considerations: journals are published periodically, they refer to current affairs, they have the everyday time of their recipients in mind, and, in many respects, they are constituted by an ephemeral materiality. In addition, there is a form of rivalry between journals and transitory media formats such as film and shows. In integrating caricatures and picture stories, journals are able to play with temporal structures by means of dating practices, time jumps, and temporal compression.Research within the project will focus on four areas in particular. The first is concerned with historically new modes of depicting time, movement, speed, and acceleration as impulses for graphic artists. The second concerns the reaction to graphic images in the periodicals of the period, insofar as this is conceived as an era of upheavals, records, and intense competition. The third addresses the forms of reception stimulated by image series and other such image arrangements – particularly those which allow for quick reading. A fourth thematic dimension concerns graphic works such as caricatures, picture stories, and comics that are devoted to the (prophetic or parodic) depiction of "the future", i.e. futuristic worlds, technologies, and ways of life. From the beginning of the twentieth century, and particularly from the 1920s on, comics began to imagine futuristic worlds, which took place in parallel and often in exchange with literature and film, but remained tied to a distinctive publication format. In particular, the humorous and satirical comics published around 1900 anticipated the futuristic scenarios of early science fiction comics. The image programmes of these comics were developed alongside attempts in the other arts to elaborate distinctively modern codes.

图画故事和漫画对时间经验和结构的文化和审美参与的最重要贡献之一是它们对时间性、克里思和时间维度的描述。在所考虑的时期（1900-1930），科学和艺术以及公共话语对这些领域的兴趣有所增长;同样，虚构作品证明了对时间性及其结构的迷恋。因此，在第二阶段，该项目将分析幽默图画故事和漫画（在文体技巧和出版环境方面，其区别在于程度而不是种类）如何有助于对时间的思考。这个分析将参考知识话语、流行和美学/文学的呈现形式、相关作品的出版形式及其在其中的定位。该项目的主题重点是时间、时间和时间性，以及它们在结构和材料层面上的各种呈现模式。在期刊上发表图片故事引起了以下考虑：期刊定期出版，它们涉及时事，它们考虑到读者的日常时间，并且在许多方面，它们是由短暂的物质构成的。此外，期刊与电影和表演等临时媒体形式之间存在某种形式的竞争。在漫画和图片故事的整合中，期刊能够通过断代实践、时间跳跃和时间压缩来发挥时间结构。本项目的研究将特别集中在四个方面。第一个是关于描绘时间，运动，速度和加速度作为图形艺术家的冲动的历史新模式。第二个问题涉及对这一时期期刊中图形图像的反应，因为这被认为是一个动荡、记录和激烈竞争的时代。第三部分论述了图像系列和其他此类图像安排所激发的接收形式--特别是那些允许快速阅读的图像安排。第四个主题维度涉及漫画、图画故事和漫画等图形作品，这些作品致力于（预言或戏仿）描绘“未来”，即未来世界、技术和生活方式。从世纪开始，特别是从20世纪20年代开始，漫画开始想象未来世界，这与文学和电影平行发生，并经常与文学和电影交换，但仍然与独特的出版形式联系在一起。特别是1900年左右出版的幽默和讽刺漫画，预见了早期科幻漫画的未来场景。这些漫画的图像程序是与其他艺术中试图阐述独特的现代代码的尝试一起开发的。
