“Fuchs interrupts conventional, deterministic
accounts of modern temporality, mechanization,
and modernization with her meticulous
accounts of the work of postmodern German
image and text artists. A wide-ranging and
compelling review of photography, film, and
fiction from the Wende through the refugee
crisis of 2015 and its aftermath.”
—Jane O. Newman, University of California,
Irvine
“Fuchs’ rich and important study energizes the
theoretical discussions of time. Her sensitive
readings reconnect time to space and
provide historical depth for contemporary
expressions across a wide range of literary
texts, works of photography and films. By
probing their aesthetic pulse, the author
reveals the highly precarious quality of time
as cultural frame, connector of social life and
measure of individual experience.”
—Aleida Assmann, University of Konstanz
