Retroactivity | Why Theory
Notes
- to tell the story retroactively is to tell it with a cut. That is to say that it is framed
- telling things in a linear way is to frame a particular narrative. Retroactivity allows space for βbutβ when telling the story backwards or informed by the present
- dialectics is about the moments where time seems to be interrupted, the break
- look up story about Freud, patient Emma, shopkeepers laughing at her
- for zizek, freedom is defined by retroactivity
