Nottingham (11.07.2014 - 12.07.2014) Date: Tuesday, May 06, 2014 16:01 PM CRITICAL TIME IN MODERN GERMAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE Symposium at the University of Nottingham, 11-12 July 2014 Centre for Advanced Studies, Highfield House A10 Time and temporality have been defining concerns of modernity since the emergence around 1800 of the modern sense of critical time that Koselleck defined as the progressive “Verzeitlichung” (temporalisation) of all areas of human knowledge: subjectivity, history and nature. The digital age with its revolution of conventional and modern conceptions of time and space on a global scale has given the modern sense of critical new virulence in critical discourse as well as cultural production. This international and interdisciplinary conference covers a full range of aspects in the philosophical, literary and cultural study of time and temporality: the temporality of art, the aesthetics of slowness, the intellectual history of time, the temporality of literary genres, the cross-mapping of time and space, the ethics of time and the politics of memory, and the poetics of time in contemporary German literature. Guests are welcome subject to registration.
