The Soviet Temporalities Room is opening its autumn season with a reading group on Material Temporalities. Our first session is on Tuesday, October 8, at 4pm BST, curated byJulie Deschepper.
We will discuss a volume that Julie has just co-edited, titled Time and Material Culture. Rethinking Soviet Temporalities (July 2024). The volume offers an exploration into the temporalities of Soviet things, from the objects of everyday life to urban architecture. How did socialist things—and their planning, design, manufacture, and consumption—mediate and produce particular ways of experiencing and representing time?
To receive the reading materials and Zoom link, please email the room’s curators, Katerina Pavlidi (katerina.pavlidi@ucd.ie) and Isabel Jacobs (isabeljacobs23@gmail.com).
