"Heterochronism"
 

Kienle notes that Foucault's heterotopias (see 1967) have "heterochronistic aspects" -- "multitudinous temporalities"
 
the library and the museum are both "heterochronic in Foucault's formulation" (and (especially?) the Wunderkammer)
 
modernity, to some degree, aims to undercut this (modern museums and other institutions attempt to homogenize time and are "oriented toward the eternal"--Foucault's phrasing)
