Modern Temporalities and the Anthropocene (2021-2022)

in collaboration with Sina Steglich (LMU Munich).

This project examined modern conceptions of time and temporality as central to interdisciplinary dialogues between the humanities and the natural sciences in the context of the Anthropocene. With a focus on the long nineteenth century, the aim was to investigate how literature and the arts have responded to the resonances, tensions, and pluralities of conceptions of temporality in disciplines that include history, geology, physics, anthropology, and biology. Contributors come from fields that include media theory, literary studies, anthropology, and history.
