Contents:
Epistemes of time in global context -- Materializations of time in global context -- Epochal shift -- Global mediations of time -- Capital realization, financialization and time conflict -- Political economies of time conflict -- Time, communication and financial crisis -- Crises without end -- Communication, synchronicity and counter-power -- Toward a time manifesto.
Summary: "In this book Wayne Hope analyzes the double relation between time and global capitalism. In order to do this, he cross-relates four epistemes of time - epochality, time reckoning temporality and coevalness - with four materializations of time - hegemony, conflict, crisis and rupture. Using this framework allows Hope to argue that global capitalism is epochally distinctive, riven by conflicts, prone to recurring crises, and vulnerable to collective opposition. These critical insights are not easily thematized in a mediated world of real-time reflexivity, detemporalized presentism, and denials of coevalness associated with structural exclusions of the poor. However, the worldwide repercussions of the 2008 financial collapse and the resulting confluence of occupation movements, riots, protests, strike activity, and anti-austerity activism raises the prospect of a rupture within and beyond global capitalism"--Back cover.
