Shaj Mathew: The Dialectic of Cosmopolitan Time, Gebunden

Klappentext

What is time? The Dialectic of Cosmopolitan Timelooks beyond the clock and the calendar to explore its many dimensions: the time of mind and memory, the time of capitalism and colonialism, and even the time of geopolitical rivalry. Shaj Mathew explores moments of world literature, particularly from the Middle East, when different times clash and converge. Such times--both linear and non-linear; qualitative and quantitative; secular and religious; reactionary and revolutionary--"coexist" in the cosmopolitan spirit.
