Time and Space - the best pieces

[Lily Alexander]

Dear Colleagues,

I am trying to put together a collection on Time and Space in Art and 
Culture - a reader for the upper level - and very savvy - undergraduate 
students.

Modernism, postmodernism, contemporary visual culture, cyberspace, media 
and new media are also included.
Of course - there is a lot, and I am looking simply for the best, creme 
de la creme on the subject.

What I am looking for is the segments, chapters and articles between 10 
and 30 pages from the well-known theorists and less known original 
thinkers, who explore some aspects of time and space representation, 
conceptualization or functioning in the realm of culture and text.  I 
would prefer the ideas and concepts to close readings and case studies, 
although case studies (analyzes of specific work) of course are 
unavoidable.  Case studies would be included if the work is well known 
and its analysis is theoretically rich. Preference is given to 
experimentations and conventions breaking / violations of the rules. 
However original, thought provoking, paradigm shifting and 
non-traditional takes on the classical art or seemingly well-studied 
cultures or texts would be also appreciated.

The segments from the theorists of Russia and Eastern Europe (among 
others, such as Continental and Eastern/Asian thinkers) are welcome. 
Ideally, these pieces are already translated into English and could be 
of interest beyond Slavic studies.

Examples: Gogol on sculpture as pagan art, Panovsky's article on the 
dynamization of space and spatialization of time, Bakhtin on the 
chronotope in narrative systems, Raushenbah on the inverse perspective 
in art and space travel - these are desirable pieces in the context of 
others - for example, Deleuze on the baroque, McLuhan [on] in Space: A 
Cultural Geography (Richard Cavell), etc.

Please reply off or on list - whatever you prefer. Do not hesitate to 
recommend your own pieces as well, if you happened to be an author of an 
unknown or forgotten masterpiece.

With gratitude and best wishes,


Lily Alexander
