ABSTRACT
This chapter sets out to show that different ways of ‘thinking time’ have effects: they design actions-in-time. What ways of thinking and acting-in-time might be appropriate now, as defutured futures travels towards us? To explore this, the chapter ranges, probably provocatively, across many moments of time from the cosmologies of Amazonian Amerindian collectivities, to ancient and modern Egypt, to disjunctive temporalities in which fast-fashion collides with a changing climate and wildfires rage across Australia. Drawing on Heidegger, Cheah, Danowski, and Viveiros de Castro, the co-constitution of temporalities and worlds is examined under the shadow of the finitude.
