عن المقرر
The global pandemic has occasioned an impulse to think how we experience time as well as the acute structural violence deployed by the state and the capital. If to “change the world” is first of all to “change time” (Giorgio Agamben), this seminar invites participants to investigate the notion of time, the temporality and how to articulate the past, the present and the future. This seminar provides a critique of a spatialized, measurable, quantifiable, homogeneous, empty, and teleological time embedded in capitalist modernity and an investigation into its purest expression in the specular and complementary temporalities of industrial wage labor, of financial speculation and of bourgeois historicism. It attempts to conjugate the critical temporal with the corporeal, the sensibilities of being stuck, the indebted men and the precarious life. In so doing, it explores other imaginaries of time, the possible and the potential.
