Temporalities of worldly receding

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This commentary responds to the framing of a negative ontology of space that Özge Can Doğmuş develops in relation to the worldly receding of watery spaces. Building on the concept of finitude in this article, I offer reflections on how conceptualisations of the negative can engage more deeply with geographies of time. I extend Doğmuş' call for a more temporal geography of negativity that engages with the intensities of time that are felt and embodied. In proposing a more reflexive approach towards the nature of negative existence, I conclude by advocating for a deeper account of emotional geographies within theorisations of the negative.
