Chronotropics

Zusatztext

<p><p>This book deconstructs androcentric approaches to spacetime<b></b>inherited from western modernity through its theoretical frame of the chronotropics. It sheds light on the literary acts of archival disruption, radical remapping, and epistemic<i>marronnage</i> by twenty-first-century Caribbean women writers to restore a  connection to spacetime, expanding it within and beyond the region. Arguing that the chronotropics points to a vocation for social justice and collective healing, this pan-Caribbean volume returns to autochthonous ontologies and epistemologies to propose a poetics and politics of the chronotropics that is anticolonial, gender inclusive, pluralistic, and non-anthropocentric.<b></b></p><br></p><p>This is an open access book.</p>
