The Time of Catastrophe

Viac o knihe

Exploring the concept of "catastrophic time," this volume engages with the theories of Agamben, Kant, and Benjamin to challenge conventional views of catastrophe. A diverse group of scholars provides frameworks and critical language to deepen the understanding of disasters beyond their mere frequency, suggesting that the implications of catastrophe extend into broader philosophical and temporal discussions. The book invites readers to reconsider the significance of catastrophic events in contemporary society.
