4. “we find it almost impossible to think or conceptualize temporal movement, to theorize it in its full implications” (p. 6). Elizabeth GRosz

6. Greenwich Mean Time, created in 1847 The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950, Vanessa Ogle 

7. Proportionality Theory

8. Claudia Hammond (2013) argues, “the problem with the proportionality theory is that it fails to account for the way we experience time at any one moment” (p. 158).

9. But what does a moment really mean? And what happens if we think of a moment differently?

11. Enlarging COntexts

12. Patient experience Design

13. Micro-Contexts

14. Contexts Have Time

15. Queer Time Judith Halberstam’s 2005 book In a Queer Time and Place argues that “queer uses of time and space develop… in opposition to the institutions of family, heterosexuality, and reproduction.”

16. Crip Time Reorganizing notions of time based on disability (i.e. things may take longer) Used in rhetoric and composition by Margaret Price and Amy Vidali

18. Alison kafer Merges queer time and crip time in an effort to disrupt linear time to account for both gender and disability experiences simultaneously to reimagine disability.

19. Kairos • Timeliness • Opportune moment • Right time

20. Rickert’s Kairos Considers what happens when “we attend to kairos’s material emplacement and unfolding and not just its timeliness or decorum” (p. 76). “kairos is therefore a concept integral for understanding subjectivity not as something individual, strictly speaking, but rather as something fundamentally dispersed and connected to various aspects of the external environment” (p. 77)

21. Ca. 1534: Elyot writes a letter

22. HAWHEE’s Kairos “kairotic movement, a simultaneous extending outward and folding back” (P.19) “kairos proves a point of departure from reasoned, linear steps” (p. 24) “At the heart of…kairos is the notion of bodily transformation—the capacity to respond and transform in different situations” (p. 86)

23. DiCaglio’s Temporal Attention “attention to the live, unfolding potentialities within vital matter. While time and its related concepts, including development, evolution, and many others, appear in most forms of biological science, temporal attention differs in its regard for processes, not ends or beginnings” (p. 6).

24. Ca. 1495

25. Michel Serres

26. Time in French Temps means both weather and time. Time does not pass. It percolates. Connects to the French verb coulerwhich means to pass through. Some things pass through while others do not.

27. Serres on TIme

28. Serres on TIme time is chaotic and it percolates in an extraordinarily complex, unexpected, complicated way The chaos makes noise and

29. Embodied Temporality • - non linear • chaotic • flows • noisy • - embodied, experiential • - moments • - micro-contextual

31. Embodied Temporality Expands theoretical conception of kairos outside of the linear to ensure that we capture the chaos of experiences in specific moments

32. Body/Care Time Embodied temporality is a theoretical concept to assist with the practice of care specific to communication practices
