In this episode Jeremy contemplates the 'shape' of time with the help of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. If reclaiming time from the catastrophe of progress requires that we invent new forms of temporality, then perhaps the fold, a concept developed by Deleuze, can help us develop better metaphors, more dynamic 'shapes,' for time. Folds and pleats fold, unfold, and enfold, emphasizing interrelationships between past, present and future. The fold helps us think with a weirder time of the present, opening a zig-zagging path towards more relational futures.
