Being and becoming: physics, hegemony, art and the nomad in the works of ezra pound, marcel duchamp, samuel beckett, john cage and thomas pynchon
This study of twentieth-century physics, hegemony theory and art seeks in tropes derived from physics symptoms of how the "field concept" remains divided internally between time-reversible and time-bound interpretive models exemplified by the dynamics of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein and Feynman, and the thermodynamics of Boltzmann, Bergson and Prigogine. Ilya Prigogine calls these warring interpretive models the physics of "being" and the physics of "becoming" respectively, and we may find tropical traces.
