Temporalities - Einzelansicht

In this seminar we will explore the multiple ways in which time is configured in and through cultural artefacts. The meetings will entail in-depth discussions of readings on topics such as
* clock time, seasonal time, acceleration, 'saving' time, and other everyday concepts of time
* queer, crip and other temporalities
as well as
* futurisms, including afrofuturism and Indigenous futurisms
We will also create a space for the discussion of the ways these frameworks help us to attend to cultural artefacts, crossing visual, audio-visual and popular art, (science) fiction, and everyday practices.
