Heike Polster Knihy

Back Cover: "How does one visualize Time? And what does it mean to represent it visually? The Aesthetics of Passage" explores different methods of imaging and imagining the concept of time. In addressing various contemporary novels by Thomas Lehr, W.G. Sebald, and Peter Handke, as well as the paintings of Jan Peter Tripp, Heike Polster offers a theoretically insightful understanding of how these texts and images conceptualize and envision time. "The Aestthetics of Passage" introduces her concept of "heterochronicity" as an interpretative tool to examine critical and creative strategies used to represent temporality.
