Rather than relying on possibility alone, his experimental miniatures engender counterfactual horizons of futurity that are made incrementally accessible to lived experience through narrative form. Innovative close readings and theoretical reflection alike illuminate the dimensional quality of future time in Kluge's radical prose, where off-worldly orientation and unnatural narrative together yield new sensory perspectives on associative networks, futurity, scale, and perspective itself. This study also affords new perspectives on the importance of Kluge's creative writing for critical studies of German thought (including Kant, Marx, Benjamin, and especially Adorno), Holocaust memory, contemporary globalization, literary miniatures, and narrative studies of futurity as form. Cosmic Miniatures contributes an experiential but non-empirical sense of hope to future studies, a scholarly field of pressing public interest in endangered times. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary German cultural studies ;$vVolume 22. 606 $aFuture, The, in literature 606 $aTime in literature 606 $3(DE-601)105531499$3(DE-588)4153368-9$aExperimentelle Prosa$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106090240$3(DE-588)4074267-2$aLiterarische Form$2gnd 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFuture, The, in literature. 615 0$aTime in literature. 615 7$aExperimentelle Prosa 615 7$aLiterarische Form 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a791.450232092 700 $aAdelson$b Leslie A.$0967575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466022103321 996 $aCosmic miniatures and the future sense$92479045 997 $aUNINA
