Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2012.

This dissertation seeks to provide an in-depth account of time in contemporary art. In four thematic chapters, which analyze works by Lorraine O'Grady, Isaac Julien, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Raoul Peck, Zarina Bhimji, Glenn Ligon, Nari Ward, Candice Breitz, Mark Bradford, Siemon Allen, Matthew Buckingham, Zineb Sedira, and Dave McKenzie, I demonstrate the ways that recent artworks and films experiment with time as a means to create new and often unexpected attachments. Time becomes an expansive dimension and medium through which artists and filmmakers propose relational networks based not on fixed identities, nor grounded in specific locations. Instead, I seek to uncover the ways artists affect our perceptions of time in order to interrogate the chronologies that govern how we live, to revisit archives, historical narratives and inherited genealogies, and to propose pathways to possible futures and worlds that are yet to exist. Such ambitious aims are supported by key strands of critical theory from which this dissertation draws, including Gilles Deleuze's writing on the cinema; specifically, what his concept of the "time-image" offers for thinking about time, artistic form, and subjectivity; postcolonial theories of the subject; the role of time in modernism's expanded field; the relationship of time to artistic medium; ongoing investments in methods of historical narration, such as Walter Benjamin's historical materialism; and queer theorizations of time. By providing a more thorough account of time in the study and exhibition of contemporary art, this dissertation opens up for reexamination and contestation the temporal meanings and possibilities of the field's most central concepts, including the category of "the contemporary" and postcoloniality as the condition of living in the wake of colonialism.
