CFP: LIFETIMES Temporalities conference, August 9-11, 2023, Oslo

24/1/2023

 
Time is suddenly everywhere in the eyes of humanities scholars and social scientists: in the webs of life that have evolved to maintain life on this planet; in the everyday lives of cab drivers, scientists and calendar software developers; in the stories we turn to in order to understand the present; in histories of growth and expansion; in the timelines, plans, and deadlines defining fundamental stakes of politics. There is growing interest in historiographies of time, ethnographies of time, media theories, social theories and aesthetics of time. But ultimately, why does it matter that time is multiple and ubiquitous?  

The Lifetimes project’s concluding conference is dedicated to the issues that arise when we no longer live the same histories, endure the same experiences, follow the same beat, or even conceptualize the times we live in with the same vocabulary, the same timekeeping technologies, or from within the same academic disciplines.  
We now invite proposals for contributions from anyone working on time. While we will give priority to open or closed panel proposals, individual papers may also be submitted. In recognition of the creative methodologies of the environmental humanities, experimental, experiential, or artistic contributions will also be considered. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 
  • Colonial time  
  • Indigenous temporalities  
  • Temporalities of environmental injustice 
  • Competing, conflicting or entangled temporalities 
  • Multispecies timescapes 
  • Climate change temporalities in fiction, film and other media 
  • Temporal affects: anxiety, hope, boredom, finality, exhaustion, flow 
  • Energy and resource temporalities, like the temporalities of petroculture 
  • Media studies of time: time criticality, digital time  
  • Times of (political or financial) institutions
  • Time and green transitions
  • Times of crisis/multi-crisis

  • Historiographies of the Anthropocene  
  • Natural and cultural history 
  • The uses of time in political ideology  
  • Temporalities of epidemics and disease  
  • Time regimes of scientific disciplines, such as geological time, environmental and earth systems time, biological time, time in neuroscience, anthropological time, and field philosophies of time 
  • Temporal concepts: Slowness, delay, lag, ending, acceleration 
  • Climate change temporalities, such as deadline-ism or target years 
Time and place: August 9th-11th, 2023.  
Sophus Bugges hus, University of Oslo and online (let us know if and how you want to participate online).
