Description

The “meantime” represents the gap between what is past and the unknown future.

When considered as waiting, the meantime is defined as a period of suspension to be endured.

By contrast, the contributors of this volume understand it as a space of “the possible” where calculation coexists with uncertainty, promises with disappointment, and imminence with deferral.

Attending to the temporalities of emerging rather than settled facts, they put the stress on the temporal tactics, social commitments, material connections, dispositional orientations, and affective circuits that emerge in the meantime even in the most desperate times.
