Time and temporality in Literature and other Arts - 4

We put our toolkit to work, paying attention especially to modernist and classic avant-garde visual artworks, poetry and prose, while to a lesser extent looking at performance and film. Our in-class analyses manifested how a plethora of unconventional and alternative ways of conceiving time and temporality, and by extension, history and historicity, lie dormant in the archive of the arts. This archive illustrates that ‘reading’ the arts for time might take us some way in escaping from our ‘contemporary’ crisis and possibly also in thinking of (and doing) art and literary history differently.
