The End of History and the Loss of Temporal Resonance
“Historical Anxiety” will explore anxiety about the historical present and how it impacts our understanding of the past and the future. Among the
manifestations of this anxiety that will be discussed are the sense of an unending and inescapable present, the feeling that time is accelerating uncontrollably, the troubled memorialization of historical events, and the relationship between power and differing conceptions of history.
