While other forms of fascist chronopolitics appeared to cling to established notions of progress and linearity, Nazism aimed to exit history and withdraw into the timelessness of an ahistorical racial continuum in which nature absorbed politics. This variant was prominent in the early years of the regime, but the Second World War and the looming defeat gave rise to other, more radical and desperate chronopolitical speculations. Looking at tropes that arose in areas as distinct as propaganda, pharmacology and changes to the pension system, the talk will present the increasingly catastrophist and apocalyptic notions of history in the \u201cNazi chronobscene\u201d.which anticipated extreme forms of current accelerationism.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":5296,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[54],"cu_event_audience":[4,6,7,8,11],"class_list":["post-5294","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_event_type-unit-event","cu_event_audience-alumni","cu_event_audience-carleton-community","cu_event_audience-current-students","cu_event_audience-faculty","cu_event_audience-staff"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2026-10-15 17:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2026-10-15 20:30:00","cu_event_add_to_calendar":"show","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_building":"RB","cu_event_meeting_room":"4400, SJC Resource Centre","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"Free","cu_event_registration":{"title":"Register","url":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/cu-events\/2026-attallah-lecture-scorched-time-radical-chronopolitics-in-the-third-reich\/","target":""},"cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5295,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5294\/revisions\/5295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=5294"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=5294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
