This volume features texts from Argentina, Ghana, Haiti, and Indonesia that fashion “locally sourced” dystopian experiences out of their unique pre- and postcolonial political-ecological trajectories. While an obsession with a monolithic modernity marks many of the theoretical and literary texts of the Euro-American canon, contributors to this volume stage how the experimental fictions, B-movies, and graphic novels of China, Iraq, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa work with uneven and unpredictable temporalities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this spirit, \u003ci\u003eOut of Time\u003c\/i\u003e includes scholars of the medieval, early modern, and colonial periods who radically de-center and re-cast the expansive global genealogies of apocalyptic and dystopian imaginings.
