Advancing a phenomenological approach to deep time
 

Our imagination today is dominated by the end of the world, from sci-fi and climate fiction to actual predictions of biodiversity collapse, climate disruption, and the emergence of the Anthropocene. This obsession with the world’s precarity, The Memory of the World contends, relies on a flawed understanding of time that neglects the past and present with the goal of managing the future. Not only does this mislead sustainability efforts, it diminishes our encounters with the world and with human and nonhuman others.

Here, Ted Toadvine takes a phenomenological approach to deep time to show how our apocalyptic imagination forgets the sublime and uncanny dimensions of the geological past and far future. Guided by original readings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and others, he suggests that reconciling our embodied lives with the memory of the earth transforms our relationship with materiality, other forms of life, and the unprecedented future.

Integrating insights from phenomenology, deconstruction, critical animal studies, and new materialism, The Memory of the World argues for a new philosophy of time that takes seriously the multiple, pleated, and entangled temporal events spanning cosmic, geological, evolutionary, and human durations.

Описание:

Ernest Toadvine Jr. is on course to become one of the most celebrated sculptors of the 20th Century, but on a blustery October day in post-World War II Cincinnati, after mustering out of the Merchant Marines, he just needs a place to stay.

He is directed to a boarding house run by the single mother and aunt of Alex Kemp, a boy who is just about to start school. They didn't know that their lives would be, from that time on, as intertwined as the intricate toad-and-vine tattoo that Ernest sported on his forearm.

After high school, Alex's young career takes him though a stint at a burlesque theater and a funeral home until he and Toadvine launch on a trip to Central America, where they discover a startling pre-Columbian artifact, which can change their lives forever, if only they can get it back to the States and his studio

So begins an adventure across the Caribbean, that can pay off grandly, or end tragically with one shot from a Mark IV Webley pistol.
