Contemporaneity, Or What Time is Tomorrow
A debate currently rages about the temporal status of “the contemporary.” The death of modernism and the failure of the concept of the “postmodern” to afford a satisfying shape to the protean nature of the “now” have led a number of theorists to argue that we have come to the end of time—that we live in a featureless contemporaneity. Moxey argues that the failure to recognize differences in time fails to come to terms with our awareness of the multiplicity or heterochronicity of times in a postcolonial situation. It also fails to account for the anachronic time of the work of art with its capacity to break or make its own time—“aesthetic” time.
