How contemporary?

From the outset, the question of what is the contemporary has been the focus of this book, which tends to shift the question to the "how". How, then, are we led to search? The complexity of the devices, the layering of temporalities, the uncertainties of the politics of ambiences... What forms of elaboration would we be led to go through, which are not necessarily linear, nor imbued with logical stability, but rather 'constellar'? Hence this question: How can the contemporary be made?
