Timescapes of Waiting explores the intersections of temporality and
space by examining various manifestations of spatial (im-)mobility.
The individual articles approach these spaces from a variety of
academic perspectives - including the realms of history,
architecture, law and literary and cultural studies - in order to
probe the fluid relationships between power, time and space. The
contributors offer discussion and analysis of waiting spaces like
ante-chambers, prisons, hospitals, and refugee camps, and also of
more elusive spaces such as communities and nation-states.
Contributors: Olaf Berwald, Elise Brault-Dreux, Richard Hardack,
