Today! "Temporalities in Conflict"

An event with NYU-based intellectual historian, Stefanos Geroulanos

Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK/8pm CET
“Temporalities in Conflict”
Stefanos Geroulanos with Nicholas Halmi and Andrés Saenz de Sicilia

In recent years, concepts and metaphors of temporal disorder or paradox (“arrhythmia”, “crisis”, “heterochrony”, the “nonsimultaneity of the simultaneous”) have become more central to the study of historical time. Yet they are seen as exceptional occasions, and the language of “multiple temporalities” remains dominant. In this event, Stefanos Geroulanos will discuss the necessity of moving to a more dynamic and conflictual understanding of time, the effect this has on spatial and temporal metaphors, and how temporal conflict may be reconciled with a basic phenomenological or empirical sense of temporal continuity.
