Deemed capable of resisting the effects of time for 5,000 years, the capsule aims to preserve an account of the \u201cuniversal achievements\u201d of the Western world for a distant future. My talk will discuss crucial aspects of its planning, content and mission, as they present themselves against the backdrop of the World Fair, the historical moment in time, and the material, visual and literary culture to which the capsule both appertains and testifies. Of particular interest will be the capsule\u2019s \u201csurvival strategies,\u201d that is to say, its material and logistic provisions made against the adversities of time and oblivion, as well as its \u201cheterotopian\u201d properties \u2013 properties that result from a culture\u2019s attempt to picture itself from the viewpoint of its own extinction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, November 30, 2017 at 11:10am in ARTS 333<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World of Tomorrow: The Westinghouse Time Capsule of Cupalloy (1939) Dr. habil.
