‘Time out!’: Why we’re talking about time, all the time

‘Time out!’: Why we’re talking about time, all the time

School of Social and Political Science

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract / Description of output

Time is not a metaphysical dimension independent of human struggle and agency, but a set of practices through which social and political life is organised. Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and protests against racism can all be understood as timing struggles – clashes over the organisation of dynamic structures, institutions and relationships – that are imbued with political power but also the potential for resistance.
