Abstract

The Colour of Time draws one’s focus away from the usual predicaments in metaphysical time (such as posing it either as ‘ahistorical’ or eternal) or as is found in more ethnographic permutations (as finite, visual, historical). By restaging time as a colour (say, strawberry, teal, blue-black), this Colour of Time attempts to move onto that more peculiar terrain of the senses - where the curvature of the instant, moment, the wave and the dot can (and do) account for the on-going mutations, morphs, nuances and shifts of discursive practice(s) itself, a toning/ tuning repetition/movement of ‘difference: both revealing and concealing at one and the same instant. We could also say that these senses, these ‘curvatures’ are the sine qua non for cohesive energy/power. Or in a phrase: ‘the political’. It’s a delicate game we are playing, after all.
