通过我们的主题, 我们提供一个测试的机会, 问题, 重新想象我们概念化和体验时间的方式. 我们寻求原创的研究建议,分析, 在某种程度上, issues of time and temporality and the unique ways in which they are represented in humanities-based inquiry. We especially encourage submissions that interrogate and theorize the theme and do not take it as a face-value starting point; we invite faculty to interpret the theme broadly.


Questions we may ask include, but are not limited to, the following: 

  • How do we theorize ideas such as time, temporality, memory, and history? 这些术语是如何相交和发散的?
  • 不同的身体对时间的体验为何不同? How can we theorize, for example, racialized and/or gendered time? 
  • 我们如何理解和隐喻时间(作为进程), 流, 线性, 离散单元, 坐标, 稀缺性, 等.) inform our theoretical frameworks in particular and the very nature of our humanistic and/or scientific inquiries in general? 
  • How are various ways of experiencing time represented aesthetically and formally, 包括在叙事结构方面?
  • How do artists thematically and formally accelerate and/or protract time and to what effects?
  • How are conceptualizations of time connected to work, labor, and leisure?
  • 文化是如何思考的, 政治, 和经济后果现象,如缠绵, 承诺与实现, 等待和拖延, 生产力, 大自然的循环, 耐力和短暂, 因果关系, 令人难忘的, 转换, 投机, 时间标准化, 时间表和时间表, 贸易, and clocks and calendars impacted by how we theorize and experience time?
  • How can recent thinking in the sciences and quantum physics inform temporal studies in the humanities?
  • How are remembering, forgetting, and memorialization enacted and represented and to what effects?
  • What material and imaginative conditions are required to manifest alternate futures?
  • What can happen when we unsettle a linear chronology of past, present, and future?
  • What are the ways and to what effects do bodies act out of time or disrupt time through sleep, 无意识, 时间旅行, 或者其他方式?
