Waiting is an inescapable part of life in modern societies. We all
wait, albeit differently and for different reasons. What does it
mean to wait for a long period of time? How do people narrate their
waiting? Waiting is about the senses. If you do not sense it, there
is no waiting. We sense waiting in the form of boredom, despair,
anxiety and restlessness, but also anticipation and hope. Prolonged
waiting is like insomnia - a state of wakefulness, a kind of mood,
an emotional state. But it is also about politics; affecting and
affected by gender, citizenship, class, and race. Blending
ethnography, philosophy, poetry, art, and fiction, this book is a
collection of works by scholars, visual artists, writers,
architects and curators, exploring different forms of waiting in
diverse geographical contexts, and the enduring effects of history,
power, class, and coloniality.
