To pose that question, it does not reject determinacy outright but rather seeks to explore how it works. In examining what it means to be ?determined? by history, it also asks what kind of openings there might be in our encounters with history for interruptions, re-readings, and re-writings.Engaging texts spanning multiple genres and several centuries?from John Locke to Maurice Blanchot, from Hegel to Benjamin?Clift looks at experiences of time that exceed the historical narration of experiences said to have occurred in time. She focuses on the co-existence of multiple temporalities and opens up the quintessentially modern notion of historical succession to other possibilities. The alternatives she draws out include the mediations of language and narration, temporal leaps, oscillations and blockages, and the role played by contingency in representation. She argues that such alternatives compel us to reassess the ways we understand history and identity in a traumatic, or indeed in a post-traumatic, age. 606 $aHistoriography$xPhilosophy 606 $aCivilization, Modern$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern$xPhilosophy. 676 $a907.2 700 $aClift$b Sarah$01053981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452500003321 996 $aCommitting the future to memory$92486259 997 $aUNINA
