Temporal Experiments
Seven Ways of Configuring Time in Art and Literature
Samenvatting
This book advances an understanding of artworks as temporal experiments that explore different ways of thinking, experiencing, and living time.
Temporal Experiments brings together aesthetics and time in innovative ways.
The book’s seven chapters offer a critical investigation of seven tactile figures in which time is embodied: event, habit, idleness, kairos, rhythm, ritual, and transit.
The book connects the specific temporal strategies of individual artworks to pressing questions regarding temporality and timing in contemporary society.
Temporal Experiments offers an interdisciplinary approach to temporality and engages with various artistic mediums: modern novels, contemporary cinema, dub reggae, tomb statuary, and early modern and modern poetry.
