Prof. Adam Barrows contributed an essay, “Time and the Literature of Globalization,” to an edited collection, Time and Literature (ed. Thomas S. Allen), that has just been published by Cambridge University Press.
Time and Literature features twenty essays on topics from aesthetics and narratology to globalisation and queer temporalities, and showcases how time studies, often referred to as “the temporal turn,” cut across and illuminate research in every field of literature, as well as interdisciplinary approaches drawing upon history, philosophy, anthropology, and the natural sciences. Part one, Origins, addresses fundamental issues that can be traced back to the beginnings of literary criticism. Part two, Developments, shows how thinking about Time has been crucial to various interpretive revolutions that have impacted literary theory. Part three, Application, illustrates the centrality of temporal theorising to literary criticism in a variety of contemporary approaches, from ecocriticism and new materialisms to media and archive studies. Prof. Barrows’s essay appears in this last section, alongside contributions on topics such as “Time, Empire, and Nation” and “Queer Temporalities.”
