Doubt, Conflict, Mediation: The Anthropology of Modern Time Paperback - 2014 - 1st Edition
by Laura Bear
From the rear cover
What is modern time? Reopening a question fundamental to the disciplines of anthropology and sociology, this volume challenges existing approaches to capitalist time. Through ethnographies of economic, bureaucratic, and political institutions across the world, it explores how they mediate representations, techniques, and rhythms of time. The timescapes of biotech laboratories, civic organizations, planning offices, global sea trade, social movements, urban squatting, and state bureaucracies are explored. New analytical tools derived from a wide range of authors, including Althusser, Deleuze, Gell, Marx, Munn, Negri, and Postone are offered. Overall the volume argues that time in modernity is characterized by doubt, conflict, and mediation. This makes it the most precious and contentious resource of our age.
