| Summary: |
What does it mean to grapple with the immensity of the Americas? For the third issue ofManifest: A Journal of the Americas, we aim to highlight propositions that have taken seriously the “bigger than big”—design and representational experiments aimed at narrating, framing, or enacting the American continent and the forms and ideas which it animates. For this event two of the founding editors, Anthony Acciavatti and Dan Handel, will moderate a conversation on the potentials and pitfalls of geological time as a frame of reference for rethinking American immensity, bringing together Lydia Xynogala on the future archeology of nuclear waste sites, Kathleen John-Alder on the slow time of nature writing, and Francesco Marullo on the pace of American deserts.
