Explore the radical rethinking of time in the post-millennial age with “Time: A Vocabulary of the Present.” This provocative volume, from The Bookish Owl, delves into cutting-edge temporal conceptualizations, drawing from post-1945 cultural theory and arts practices. Featuring twenty essays, it investigates what constitutes the scope of time studies today, especially concerning history, measurement, and culture. Each essay pairs keywords like “past/future” and “extinction/adaptation” to reveal the nuanced meanings of temporality in aesthetic, cultural, technological, and economic developments. Discover how time, not space, is central to understanding our contemporary experience and the overlapping temporalities that shape the present.
