“…144 Poetry pays a special tribute to this paradox in the form of the hysteron proteron, which reverses the presentation of order in time. 145 This phenomenon is also observed in life, with some languages and related gestures indicating that the future is not ahead but behind and that the past is in front. 146 Finally, science fiction is also obsessed with the idea of time and, more often, with the possibility or technology of time travel.…”

The human fascination with the art of predicting the future derives from the practical need to anticipate events to make adequate decisions. While science fiction has undoubtedly contributed greatly to this field, there are a large number of other forms of expression of the same desire to predict the future in almost every field of activity—from the arts to science, from technology to linguistics, and from artificial intelligence to magic—all of which constantly contribute to bringing the future closer to the present. However, there is one field that potentially has the greatest predictive power of them all: that is the field of law. To release this latent power of law, this article argues, a cognitive revolution has to take place, one that is related to the perception of time. Awareness about this cognitive change is dawning and is currently manifesting itself in a general trend derived from related trends of convergence in language and technology. These trends are captured by the rise of the rhetorical figures of oxymora and paradoxes, or so-called “essentially oxymoronic concepts,” that increasingly pervade all human activities. Over the course of time, these concepts appear to have shown the magical power of bringing opposites into closer contact and possibly transcending their apparent contradictions to create a new reality. Pondering the future role of law while considering the present perception of time based on the dichotomy of the past and the future, this article inquires how far oxymora and paradoxes such as science fiction and space-time indicate an acceleration, a gradual shrinking and even a possible disappearance of time (as we know it).

“…En lo que respecta al griego antiguo, Bassett (1920), Mastronarde (1979, pp. 39-42) y Minchin (2007Minchin ( [≈ 2001], pp. 102-116) son los únicos, hasta donde sabemos, que han indagado sobre el orden en el que se responden dos o más preguntas y, en general, sobre el orden en el que se reacciona a turnos que albergan varias acciones (no solo preguntas).…”

“…Por su parte, Sacks ([1987] 2010) habla de contiguity desde el marco del Análisis de la Conversación. Minchin (2001Minchin ( , 2007 discutió ambas tradiciones con observaciones de índole cognitivista. Como hacen, según el caso, Bassett y Minchin, la contigüidad conversacional se puede estudiar con respecto a acumulaciones de elementos más allá de las preguntas múltiples.…”

“…40 Aquí podemos esbozar conclusiones sobre un tipo muy concreto de contigüidad, la que se da en respuestas a preguntas múltiples que son prototípicas, y lo hacemos sobre un corpus compuesto por tragedias y comedias griegas. Determinar preguntas prototípicas sigue siendo difícil, pero el aparato teórico disponible se ha sofisticado desde Bassett (1920) e incluso desde Minchin (2001Minchin ( , 2007. De esta manera, hemos procurado determinar preguntas auténticas múltiples con todo el rigor posible.…”

En este trabajo analizamos el orden en el que se responden dos o más preguntas auténticas acumuladas en un mismo turno en una selección de obras de Esquilo, Sófocles, Eurípides, Aristófanes y Menandro. Según Sacks (1987), lo esperable es responder primero la última de las preguntas en virtud de una preferencia conversacional por la contigüidad. Ese es el orden normal en Homero, como ya advirtió Cicerón (Att. 1. 16. 1). En el drama griego, sin embargo, difícilmente podemos afirmar que exista preferencia por la contigüidad, al menos en lo que respecta a múltiples preguntas y a múltiples respuestas.

The comparison between the construction of dialogue in the Homeric poems and in Attic tragedy (exemplified through the analysis of Aeschylus’ Persians and Euripides’ Bacchae), leads to the detection of elements of similarities and some divergences, as already observed by ancient critics. Similarities and differences are well explained by considering both the mode of performance and the practice of actual dialogue.
