CFP: an international workshop on Terrains of time
Terrains of Time: <br>Modern Temporality(ies) in Social Sciences and Beyond <br> <br>An International Workshop, Bar Ilan University, Israel June 14-15, 2020 <br> <br> <br>Time has been studied, researched, and thought over for thousands of years and <br>across cultures. In recent decades, some accounts of the role of time and <br>temporality in human (and non-human) experiences proved fruitful for <br>contemporary thought and research. Those who dared to ask St. Augustine’s <br>renowned question—“what, then, is time?”— developed vital and <br>fascinating insights about human and non-human nature(s), cultures, societies, <br>environments, emotions, personalities, and politics. A nuance- sensitive <br>understanding of the social, cultural, and political dimensions of time is of <br>immense potential. <br>Nevertheless, time as a category is an understudied topic in the traditional <br>humanities and social sciences. Even though Time Studies is now <br>institutionalized in academia (societies, journals, etc.), the field has <br>hardly crystalized into an organized body of knowledge with its own defined <br>and structured vocabulary, working assumptions, controversies, and research <br>agendas, to be reflected in other disciplines. Today, the scholar of space, <br>body and other similar categories can draw from these fields’ respective <br>bodies of knowledge. But this is not always the case with Time Studies. Is it <br>a mere problem of institutionalization, or rather does it have to do with <br>Augustin’s wonder, i.e. with the elusiveness of the concept of time? <br> <br>The international workshop “Terrains of Time” is aimed at developing an <br>integrative and interdisciplinary conversation about time as a social and <br>cultural phenomenon, while accounting for global and local contexts. <br> <br>Topics: <br> <br>¨ Time and temporality: definitions, analytical frameworks, narratives, <br>and symbolizations. <br> <br>¨ Time and related categories: space, body, and subjectivity. <br> <br>¨ Time and humanity; time in (or after) the Anthropocene. <br> <br>¨ Time and the social: The role of time in assembling and disassembling <br>individuals and groups, personalities and collectives, actors and networks; <br>measurement, standardization, multi-temporalities, synchronization, and <br>desynchronization. <br> <br>¨ Time and power: social and political struggles waged about time as a <br>resource, for example regarding status, gender, and labor; time in public <br>policy, social stratification (e.g. age stratification), evaluation and <br>criticism; Time regimes; Global, local, and networked temporalities. <br> <br>¨ Time and the market: commodification, trading, and soliciting time; Time <br>poverty and affluence. <br> <br>¨ Micro-interactions: waiting, rushing, getting prepared, aging, time <br>wasting, “quality time,” transitions, cheating on time. <br> <br>¨ Rituals of time, times of rituals. <br> <br>¨ Time and morality: temporal distributive justice. <br> <br>¨ Time in ecological challenges and technological developments. <br> <br>¨ Risk, readiness, and uncertainty (e.g. in future studies). <br> <br>¨ Time and cultural relativity: Are there groups that experience <br>“more” or “less” time, or groups that have “more” or “less” <br>temporality? Do certain groups care about time more than others? <br> <br>¨ Time and “the moderns”: was the modern period embedded in <br>“temporalization of the experienced life”, as maintained by Koselleck and <br>echoed in Latour’s conceptualization of the modern? Did a “temporal <br>turn” take place in history, and/or in theory? On the other hand, are <br>industrialized societies poorer in time (while being affluent in other <br>resources), as common wisdom so often holds? <br> <br> <br> <br>The workshop will explore the social, cultural, political, economic, human, <br>and environmental dimensions of time and temporality(ies) from a variety of <br>disciplinary perspectives, including, but not limited to: philosophy, <br>literature, psychology, geography, history, linguistics, sociology, <br>anthropology, gender studies, cultural studies, and science and technology <br>studies. <br> <br>The workshop will take place at Bar Ilan University on June 14-15, 2020. No <br>registration fee is required, but we cannot assist with travel expenses. <br> <br>Confirmed guest speakers: <br>¨ Barbara Adam, Emerita Professor, Cardiff University and Affiliate <br>Scholar, IASS Potsdam <br> <br>¨ Judy Wajcman, Anthony Giddens Professor of Sociology, London School of <br>Economics <br> <br>¨ Frédéric Worms, Professor of Philosophy, École normale <br>supérieure <br> <br>Abstracts of up to 300 words for a 20-minute paper, with a short bio, may be <br>sent to: terrainsoftime2019@gmail.com no <br>later than January 15, 2020. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by <br>February 15, 2020. <br> <br>The international workshop is organized by the Research Group “It’s about <br>Time”, sponsored by Bar Ilan’s Rector, Prof. Miriam Faust; and under the <br>auspices of the Bar Ilan Center for Cultural Sociology.
