Time Tells is a grand study of time, technology, performance, the attention economy, and comedy. Using the cinematic timejump, "a numerical shorthand for a fated intermission," to weave a narrative of chronopolitics, memoir, and cultural study, Masha Tupitsyn constructs a unique literary and visual phenomenology on the loss of time, presence, and attention in the digital age. Structured into two interlocked inquiriesTime and ActingTime Tells focuses on the internet to talk about the ethics of presence and attention, comedy to talk about timing and the language of critique, and lying masculinity, the double, and acting to talk about performance and the reign of falsehood. Both volumes intersect to examine our inability to experience coherence and integration in the posttruth era. In the first volume, Time, Tupitsyn covers wideranging cultural touchstones such as the 90s TV show Felicity, Hitchcocks Vertigo, Luca Guadagninos Call Me by Your Name, Joan Didions The Year of Magical Thinking, Pretty Woman, Wong Karwais 2046, David Finchers Zodiac, JeanLuc Godard, the Beastie Boys, Wim Wenders, the art of style, memory and music in the postinternet age, and the lost ontology of cinema. Using what Tupitsyn terms screenshot criticism, Time Tells makes innovative critical thinking accessible to anyone interested in American culture today. Afterword by Felix Bernstein.
