Space-time collapse. I, From the Congo to the Carolinas : Black quantum futurism

Space-Time Collapse I: From the Congo to the Carolinas explores possible space-time narratives and temporal perspectives of enslaved Black African ancestors, pre- and post-liberation. Slave ships and plantations are traversed by the visionaries as chronotopes containing layers of different times, imprinted by the experiences of the people held captive therein. The featured writers and visionaries attempt to visualize, hear, understand, and feel the experience of time overwritten -- the rewriting of conceptions of the past, present, and future of a people displaced by the transatlantic slave trade, and the erasure of their cultural memory. The works also examine perceptions of time and space in relation to Black memory, historical and societal change, systems, institutions, and technological development, and how these perceptions are sifted through or persist into the present. The main works propose innovative tools for shifting the linear progress narrative, suggest alternative perceptions and shapes of time, and create mechanisms for survival under the dominant linear temporal regime . Space-Time Collapse is a new experimental writing, sound,and image series that applies Black Quantum Futurism theory and practices to spatiotemporal collapse events and phenomenon. The first book in the series features new visions from Rasheedah Phillips, Camae Ayewa, Joy KMT, Thomas Stanley, PhD, Ytasha Womack, Dominique Matti, Theo Paijmans, Alex Smith, and Femi Matti, with a foreword by Alicia J. Lochard. 0001_2R 1 0002_1L 2 0002_2R 3 0003_1L 4 0003_2R 5 0004_1L 6 0004_2R 7 0005_1L 8 0005_2R 9 0006_1L 10 0006_2R 11 0007_1L 12 0007_2R 13 0008_1L 14 0008_2R 15 0009_1L 16 0009_2R 17 0010_1L 18 0010_2R 19 0011_1L 20 0011_2R 21 0012_1L 22 0012_2R 23 0013_1L 24 0013_2R 25 0014_1L 26 0014_2R 27 0015_1L 28 0015_2R 29 0016_1L 30 0016_2R 31 0017_1L 32 0017_2R 33 0018_1L 34 0018_2R 35 0019_1L 36 0019_2R 37 0020_1L 38 0020_2R 39 0021_1L 40 0021_2R 41 0022_1L 42 0022_2R 43 0023_1L 44 0023_2R 45 0024_1L 46 0024_2R 47 0025_1L 48 0025_2R 49 0026_1L 50 0026_2R 51 0027_1L 52 0027_2R 53 0028_1L 54 0028_2R 55 0029_1L 56 0029_2R 57 0030_1L 58 0030_2R 59 0031_1L 1 0031_2R 1 0032_1L 60 0032_2R 61 0033_1L 62 0033_2R 63 0034_1L 64 0034_2R 65 0035_1L 66 0035_2R 67 0036_1L 68 0036_2R 69 0037_1L 70 0037_2R 71 0038_1L 72 0038_2R 73 0039_1L 74 0039_2R 75 0040_1L 76 0040_2R 77 0041_1L 78 0041_2R 79 0042_1L 80 0042_2R 81 0043_1L 82 0043_2R 83 0044_1L 84 0044_2R 85 0045_1L 86 0045_2R 87 0046_1L 88 0046_2R 89 0047_1L 90 0047_2R 91 0048_1L 92 0048_2R 93 0049_1L 94 0049_2R 95 0050_1L 96 0050_2R 97 0051_1L 98 0051_2R 99 0052_1L 100 0052_2R 101 0053_1L 102 0053_2R 103 0054_1L 104 0054_2R 105 0055_1L 106 0055_2R 107 0056_1L 108 0056_2R 109 0057_2R 110 A mix of essays and fiction explores possible space-time narratives and temporal perspectives of enslaved Black African ancestors, pre-and post-liberation
