The “meantime†represents the gap between what is past and the unknown future. When considered as waiting, the meantime is defined as a period of suspension to be endured. By contrast, the contributors of this volume understand it as a space of “the possible†where calculation coexists with uncertainty, promises with disappointment, and imminence with deferral.
