Hardwired Temporalities is a two-day symposium that will stage an important encounter between scholars working on the significance of technology and temporality and their ramifications for social relations, stratifications of power, and ways of life. International and interdisciplinary in scope, the symposium brings together a conversation on temporal artifacts and the lived experience of time between researchers working in the fields of communication and media studies, cultural studies, history of science and technology, cinema studies, social science, and computer science.

The event will interrogate the ways in which timekeeping technologies, time-management practices, and temporal infrastructures influence and coordinate the movements and labor of people, matter, and signs and how these technologies鈥攆rom medieval clocks to smartphones and ambient technologies鈥攆eed back into temporal orders that both shape and transform socioeconomic realities, cultural and artistic practice, and contemporary scholarship on time and media.

The keynote speaker is John Durham Peters, A. Craig Baird Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa. All speakers represent a cross section of the most innovative directions of contemporary media research. Nearly half the researchers have devoted a significant amount of their research to critically investigating relations of temporality, while the other half have been invited because of their wide-ranging expertise in contemporary network and infrastructure studies to reengage their objects through specific questions of听temporality. Creating a conversation between these diverse voices, the symposium aims to reevaluate theories of temporality through fresh case studies and new empirical evidence.

Hardwired Temporalities is free and open to the public. To help us prepare the event we request that you register for the conference in advance, either via the button below or our registration page. Please note that the conference language is English.
