In the course of its long and tumultuous history the sublime has
alternated between spatial and temporal definitions, from its
conceptualization in terms of the grandeur and infinity of Nature
(spatial), to its postmodern redefinition as an "event" (temporal),
from its conceptualization in terms of our failure to "cognitively
map" the decentered global network of capital or the rhizomatic
structure of the postmetropolis (spatial), to its
neurophenomenological redefinition in terms of the new temporality
of presence produced by network/real time (temporal). This volume
explores the place of the sublime in contemporary culture and the
aesthetic, cultural, and political values coded in it. It offers a
map of the contemporary sublime in terms of the limits-cinematic,
cognitive, neurophysiological, technological, or environmental-of
representation.
