The Delays of Attention
Starting with the Phenomenological Thinking of Bernhard Waldenfels
Abstract
The discronic temporality of attention is characterised by procrastination and delay, by the a posteriori experience of an après coup, by distraction, deferral and dispersion, even by being outside oneself or emptied of oneself. It refers to the original indecision between the present and the absent, the cause and the effect, the active and the passive, the subject and the object, the same and the other. The reference is mainly to Bernhard Waldenfels and his phenomenology of the alien.
