"Time-Sensitive: Teaching Afrofuturism Through the Nineteenth Century" describes a strategy of teaching Afrofuturism that exposes its long and ongoing history. Borrowing from Tavia Nyong'o's anarchaeological historical methodologies, this essay argues that teaching literary history in a non-linear way disrupts students' sense that they exist outside of--that is, at the end of--historical time, inviting students to see themselves as acting within a yet-uncertain, always-developing future and linking in-class instruction to political praxis.

时间敏感：通过十九世纪教授非洲未来主义

“时间敏感：通过十九世纪教授非洲未来主义”描述了一种教授非洲未来主义的策略，揭示了其漫长而持续的历史。本文借用 Tavia Nyong'o 的无考古历史方法论，认为以非线性方式教授文学史会扰乱学生的感觉，即他们存在于历史时间之外——即在历史时间结束时，邀请学生去观看他们自己在一个不确定的、不断发展的未来中行动，并将课堂教学与政治实践联系起来。
