In her article 'Othering Time: Strategies of Attunement to Non-Human Temporalities,' art curator and researcher in the field of art and ecology Alice Smits delves into artistic practices that tune into deep time and non-human time zones. Starting from the viewpoint that our current ecological crisis is in need of developing an ethics of care towards generations far into the future and life forms extremely different to ours, she discusses art and aesthetic knowledge as particularly well suited for experimentation with new stories and sensibilities about our place in time. Making use of geologist Marcia Bjornerud's concept of 'timefulness,' the article focuses on several art projects by Rachel Sussman, Katie Paterson and Špela Petrič, whose works engage in developing a more time-literate sensibility that aims to understand how our everyday lives are shaped by processes that vastly predate us. Underlining changing ways of understanding of time and space by opening up to what is referred to in the title as 'othering time,' art opens up as a discourse in its own right that can interrogate the sciences as a specific epistemological framework that is in need of revision. The author concludes with a few references to how these artistic practices change her own curatorial practice.

AbstractIn his inaugural lecture, Saul Dubow, Smuts Professor of Commonwealth History at Cambridge University, discusses the modern history of science in South Africa in terms of ‘deep time’ and space, drawing links between developments in astronomy, palaeontology, and Antarctic research. He argues that Jan Smuts's synthetic discussion of South African science in 1925, followed by J. H. Hofmeyr's discussion of the ‘South Africanization’ of science in 1929, has parallels in post-apartheid conceptions of scientific-led nation-building, for example in Thabo Mbeki's elaboration of the ‘African Renaissance’. Yet, whereas the vision of science elaborated by Smuts was geared exclusively to white unity, Mbeki's Africanist vision of South African science was ostensibly more inclusive. The lecture concludes by considering South Africa as one of several middle order countries which have used national science and scientific patriotism to address experiences of colonialism and relations of inequality and to assert their influence in regional contexts.

Abstract: This plenary address to the Laurier conference extends the fundamental insight of Innis and McLuhan that communication studies concerns time and space by inviting scholars to consider the very large and the very small, the very old and the very far, as outer limits to communication theory. Specifically, it explores geology, astronomy, and cosmology as inquiries into media that span deep time and deep space. It suggests that communication studies is not merely an interdisciplinary field, but one that goes beyond the human scale and potentially encompasses any inquiry into time and space. The untold expanse of communication is a territory, I contend, which we are only just beginning to appreciate. Résumé : Cette allocution plénière au congrès Laurier pousse plus loin l'idée fondamentale d'Innis et McLuhan que les études en communication portent sur le temps et l'espace, en invitant les érudits à considérer le très grand et le très petit, le très vieux et le très distant comme confins de la théorie en communication. Plus particulièrement, cette allocution explore la géologie, l'astronomie et la cosmologie à titre d'enquêtes sur les médias qui tiennent compte du temps et de l'espace profonds. Elle suggère que la communication n'est pas seulement un champ interdisciplinaire mais aussi un champ qui dépasse la dimension humaine pour englober potentiellement toute enquête sur le temps et l'espace. La véritable portée de la communication comporte selon moi un territoire qu'on commence à peine à apprécier.


Jeremy M. Carnes analyzes how formal design (layout and gutters, for instance) can be strategically used by Indigenous creators to convey a cosmic, trans-Indigenous knowledge system.
