ACGS Conference “Where Are We Now? Temporalities of Globalisation”

Amsterdam

Third Annual ACGS Conference  Where Are We Now? Temporalities of Globalisation  Amsterdam, 15-16 December 2016  Confirmed speakers: Amy Allen (Pennsylvania State University), Louise Amoore (Durham University), Rolando Vazquez (Utrecht University)  Extended deadline for abstracts: 1 June 2016  Globalisation is often seen as a single process, unfolding in a single timeframe that serves as a universal measure. This synchronic, or perhapsbetter still, monochronic conception of globalisation’s temporality creates problematic distinctions between the ‘contemporary’ and the‘archaic’, between the ‘modern’ and the ‘traditional’ and between globalisation’s GMT and cultures, subjects and areas that are seen to remainout of time. Such a vision of the temporality of globalisation, and its underlying 'denial of coevalness' (Johannes Fabian), entails a perpetuation of the dominant narrative of modernisation and modernity as progress and temporal advance, as the integration (or lack thereof) in theuniversalising timeframe of the contemporary (Amy Allen). Today, we witness many cultural practices that challenge, refute or problematise thisnarrative: from new forms of cultural translation (including a validation of the untranslatable) and the proliferation of decolonialaltermodernities to the emergence of Euro-American populist nostalgia; from accelerationism and hyper-temporalities  (such as that of climatechange), to renewed appraisals of slowness and reflection on the end of temporality (Fredric Jameson).   The 2016 Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies conference highlights the urgency to reconsider globalisation from the perspective oftoday’s multiple temporalities. We want to explore new conceptualisations of the multiple, differentiated temporalities of globalisation. What if still dominant representations of globalisation as an unfolding … Continue reading ACGS Conference “Where Are We Now? Temporalities of Globalisation”
