Hechos de Tiempo

By: Yébenes, Zenia

We are made of time, inhabited by multiple and heterogeneous times that intersect, interfere, intermingle... Politics, according to Zenia Y?benes, has to account for this. Memory, understood as the inscription and transmission of different rhythms of life time and matter, is constituted as a crucial element that modifies our relationship with the world, thus transforming our way of perceiving it. The common thread of these pages is, then, the articulation of time and the imaginary as that which remains unthought of in the relationship of the human with life and the Earth, bios and geos. Zenia Y?benes proposes to imagine another mode of politics that contemplates the different forms of time of which we are made. Times that are not those of nostalgia for a lost origin nor those of traumatic memory nor solely those of memory as a deliberate and critical exercise. We need another way of looking at what constitutes us: everyday life, the ordinary, the disturbing intimacy with the time of animals, the time of the dead and also the time of the gods.
