Different concepts of time and them clashing are a central aspect of
colonial contexts. This includes questions of temporality as well as
historicity and is often embedded in broader processes of negotiating
power. This course will reflect on what so far has been discussed in
research under the umbrella of time regimes. It will introduce various
ways to grasp time regimes theoretically to then turn to case studies.
Featuring examples from Africa to Samoa and Latin America serve to
exemplify the application of such approaches and ask what new
perspectives they might offer.
