Iconology of Time (online, 14 Jul-4 Aug 21)
Online, hosted by University of Southern California, Jul 14–Aug 4, 2021 Deadline: Jul 14, 2021
Ruth Ezra
How do we picture time? This lecture series hosted by USC's Visual Studies Research Institute explores the category of “temporal” images: pictures, shapes, diagrams, and metaphors that ren- der time visual. These images freeze the present, speculate on the future, and re-order the past.
They at once remind us of our own mortality and conjure time scales whose duration dwarfs a sin- gle human life. In attempting a critical iconology of time, we will explore the tension between logo- centric and mythic temporalities, comparing the possibilities and limitations of linear chronology to those of other narrative patterns or “shapes of time” such as spirals, fractals, cells, and explo- sions. The VSRI presents this series in conjunction with the summer 2021 VISS 599 course
“Iconology of Time” led by Professor W.J.T. Mitchell and USC Postdoc Ruth Ezra.
