Description

This edited collection provides anthropological case studies of contemporary chronopolitics, and explores the different facets of the multiple temporalities at play in scientific discourses, governmental techniques and policy practices through which modern life is shaped. The contributors discuss state power, citizenship, and ecologies of time to bring together a broad but focused view of the scalar properties of chronopolitics, from the everyday to the macro-institutional work of nation states. Together the essays highlight the importance of chronopolitical research for the future of anthropological work.
