CONSTRUCTING MODERNITY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: ACCELERATION — TIME OUT — INTERPRETATION

• Languages of publication: PT

Abstracts

EN

Finding contemporary society to be dominated by accelerating processes which reveal other forms of invisible violence, one is led to show the necessity of creating or recreating moments of interval. The interval instigates contemplation, and with it the questioning of the imperative character of productivity as the absolutisation of acceleration and comprehensive positivity, thus paving the way to interpretation and to the exercise of critical review in order to produce creative movement, of non-reactive action, resulting in the Modernity of today.
