transtemporal
"Transnational history is all the rage. Transtemporal history has yet to come into vogue." (Guldi and Armitage 2014 15)
preposterous history -- ""In alignment with intercultural relationality, we could call it intertemporal . Such a term reminds us of the thick mutuality of relation, as opposed to a lean linearity of progress." (Bal 2008 152)
--> read Bal, Quoting Caravaggio, for more on preposterous history
Harris 2009 on "untimely matter"
Erkki Huhtamo's latest book
Geology of Media
Manuel de Landa, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History
microhistory -- Ginzburg 1980
Zielinski -- deep time of the media
Anachronic Renaissance
"polychronic" readings -- Latour, Serres
--> 17c was a moment when scholars were using material stuff to try to understand history, to conceptualize it, weave together the various histories that were becoming known; e.g. James Ussher mapping biblical chronology onto political chronology, in a way that became standard, written in margins of Bibles [did LG do any chronology?] -- see Parry 1995 on Ussher and chronology
Feminisms
Kember 2016 -- offers up a model of genre blending (interwoven excerpts from novel-in-progress, theory, manifesto); influenced deeply by Haraway and "Sf", finding figures that are in-between; reading of "manifesto" that could ground the genre of the intro; queries glass and its intentions to mediate transparently whill still being present (c.f. with Galloway 2012 -- media aim to but can never fully disappear), and advocates hypermediacy as feminist alternative; showing/exposing the messiness of mediation as feminist strategy to undo/rewrite/restory the myths of technology
