  • More about Modernism and Time Machines


Modernism and Time Machines explores the fascination with time in canonical works of twentieth-century literature and art, and the rise of time-travel narratives and alternate histories in popular culture. It draws on insights from a range of sources and examines different kinds of objects together, including SF, Impressionism, Henri Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis, evolutionary biology, Eliot's The Waste Land, and Leinster's Sidewise in Time. It also explores bullet time, Faulkner's racialized lag, Jessica Hagedorn's postcolonial anachronism, big history, Olaf Stapledon's two-billion-year novel of the human species, and Terrence Malick's film Tree of Life.
