Beskrivning

Martineau challenges us to see time not as an objective reality, but as something structured by power and property relations. In Time, Capitalism And Alienation, the author offers and account of the histories of social time in Europe. Approaching time as a social phenomenon traversed by various power and property relations, this work provides a socio-theoretical and historical analysis of the relationship between clock-time and capitalist social relations, problematizing the rise to hegemony of a clock-time regime.
