Angel Naydenov’s research examines the entanglements of time, value, and selfhood in rural China. His first book manuscript, Rhythms of Realisation: Time, Value, and Recognition in the Mountains of Southwest China, is based on 17 months of fieldwork in Sichuan and explores the dominant value pursuits through which subjects seek self-realisation and thus find their way in time.
