About this title

Synopsis

Capitalist acceleration and the patriarchal organisation of labour have robbed us of life’s most vital resource: time. Caught within a toxic neoliberal grind culture that puts the burden of making and saving time squarely on the individual, we actually have less and less of it. In a global authoritarian shift, acceleration is employed as a strategy to undermine democracy and to prevent resistance. To escape this unforgiving acceleration, Friederike Beier offers a new chronofeminist politics against authoritarianism, capitalist grind culture, and stolen futures. Beier introduces novel perspectives on gender inequality, acceleration as an authoritarian strategy, and environmental destruction. Bridging queer, feminist, and crip theories, the book offers a radical blueprint to reclaim time towards a more democratic, ecological, and caring future.
