Hybridity as Heterochrony
TLDR
In this paper, the authors draw on the Sartrean ontology of the human being as temporal ecstasis to explain the transcultural phenomenon of hybridity as heterochrony, and in particular how hybrid temporality is out of sync with local temporality.Abstract:
In his essay “Of Other Spaces” Michel Foucault explained that heterotopias, or spaces of otherness, “function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional time.” This temporal otherness he described as “heterochrony.” In this article I will draw on the Sartrean ontology of the human being as temporal ecstasis to explain the transcultural phenomenon of hybridity as heterochrony, and in particular, how hybrid temporality is out of sync with local temporality. Heeding Virinder Kalra, Raminder Kaur, and John Hutnyk's admonishment that “hybridity is better conceived of as a process rather than a description,” I will attempt to explicate the multiple processes of hybrid becomings I witnessed as an academic migrant in Cambodia, Hawaii, and Nigeria, and as a member of a hybrid subculture in Singapore.read more

Cinematic Rupture: Reading Cambodia’s Genocide through Deleuze and Guattari
TL;DR: The recent documentary Enemies of the People offers a cinematic space for the unpunished and now-elderly executioners of Democratic Kampuchea to share their memories of these foundational events of mass murder, thereby forcing ruptures in the body politic of Cambodia through their revelations of the violent processes of deterritorialization that allowed the emergence of this high growth Southeast Asian economy as discussed by the authors.

Of Other Spaces
Michel Foucault,Jay Miskowiec +1 more
TL;DR: In this sense, structuralism does not entail a denial of time; it does involve a certain manner of dealing with time and what we call history as mentioned in this paper, which is the effort to establish, between elements that could have been connected on a temporal axis, an ensemble of relations that makes them appear as juxtaposed, set off against one another, implicated by each other, making them appear, in short, as a sort of configuration.

Colonial Desire: Hybridity in Theory, Culture and Race
