Abstract:
This article examines the US student debt crisis through a queer, feminist lens attuned to matters of the material. Examining the discourse of ‘failed’ and/or forestalled millennial adulthood, I argue that the student debt crisis is a product of neoliberal, racial capitalism, and its profit resides in its financialisation. Drawing on queer and feminist theories regarding time and futurity and current research on student debt, I examine the configurations and effects of what I term the ‘student-debt-as-hetero-failure discourse’, which renders the crisis of student debt legible through a heteronormative life narrative, and obscures the racialised, gendered realities of student debt. The student-debt-as-hetero-failure discourse illustrates how under racial capitalism, heteronormative temporality is structurally conditioned via race. Examining US media coverage, I assert that the reprosexually oriented student-debt-as-hetero-failure discourse legitimises new financial products that enable debtors to sustain and reproduce themselves via more debt.

Abstract:
AbstractEstablished with the reform of 1993, Argentina’s private pension funds became crucial sources of credit for the national government. They purchased large amounts of sovereign bonds defaulted on in 2001 and hence were key to the success of the debt restructuring of 2005. The private pillar was always vulnerable to political maneuvering; the nationalization of private pension funds in 2008 was only the last stage in an iterated process of state intervention, a function of public debt dynamics. This article argues that the financial pressures associated with Argentina’s sovereign debt burden systematically shortened the temporality of pension policy decisions, taking those away from long-term concerns about the stability of the social security system and toward the immediacy of debt-financing imperatives. Therefore, the politics of pension reform reversal in Argentina were determined by the increasingly strong and inextricable link between debt and pensions.

Abstract:
This article traces the interrelation of two forms of debt – financial debt and the symbolic debt to the past – in order to propose a rethinking of the discourse of debt through the ‘middle voice’, understood both as a grammatical category and, more generally, as an expressive modality that can take shape through different media. Can we revisit discourses of debt through ‘grammars’ that could restore a form of agency to the ‘indebted subject’ and disrupt the asymmetrical power relation between debtor and creditor? To explore this question, the article turns to literary and artistic responses to the discourse of debt against the backdrop of the Greek debt crisis. Through a close reading of the novella Close to the Belly (2014) by Sotiris Dimitriou and an untitled art installation by Stefania Strouza (2011), it traces how these works cast the subject as produced by the discourse of debt and test alternative conceptions of the indebted subject through the modality of the middle voice. Dimitriou’s novella tries to transcend both the moral discourse of financial debt and the debt to the past by envisioning a disengagement from all debt, which eventually yields a society without past and future. By contrast, Strouza’s installation reconfigures the debtor-creditor relation without renouncing debt altogether. By staging an encounter between Sophocles’ Antigone and Marx’s Capital, it transforms the power relation of debtor and creditor into a deictic exchange that makes these positions malleable and reversible. Through these works, the article explores the conditions for reconsidering the notion of debt through the modality of the middle voice and the risks but also the politically promising possibilities the middle voice opens up for conceiving the indebted subject and the temporality of debt otherwise.

Abstract:
<p>This article examines the works of young adult literature author A.S. King through youth and temporal lenses. It argues that King’s works refute the images of teenagers as atemporal beings uninterested by and uninvolved in the past, present, and future. The analysis attempts to link King’s characters with real-life events – the Vietnam War, the current student-debt crisis, etc. – and to show teenagers as active participants in society, regardless of time period. Furthermore, the article links each book to a particular temporal period (past, present, future), and it uses these temporal periods to show how teenagers, rather than being isolated, share the same temporal struggles – the influence of past struggles, the present quest to survive, planning for the future – that plague their adult counterparts. </p>

Abstract:
Jordan Lord’s Shared Resources (2021) uses access features—namely, open captions and burned-in audio description—as a medium of crip creativity. A meditation on debilitation, debt, disability, and bankruptcy, Lord’s film asks what it means to listen from the perspective of the out-of-synch temporal experiences that disability scholars call “crip time.” To listen in crip time, Lord shows, is to rethink the temporality of access, turning it from an afterthought into a building block of documentary language. By reframing access as a collective responsibility, Shared Resources moves away from transactional and adversarial interpretations of documentary access as risk mitigation into a more powerful framework of accountability.

Abstract:
The Depression Era collective started as several photographers and video artists joined forces in March of 2011 to create an archive of photographic images about the Greek economic crisis, amidst the social and political upheaval provoked by ongoing austerity impositions of the EU on the Greek economy. In this essay, I examine selected images from Depression Era, including images from Marinos Tsagkarakis’s series Non-Places of Transition, Yannis Hadjiaslanis’s series After Dark, Pavlos Fisakis’s series Nea Elvetia, and Georges Salameh’s series Spleen. Bringing together Marxist philosophical approaches to aesthetics, via Walter Benjamin and Jean Luc-Nancy, I argue that these photographers’ work is a performative undoing of capitalist understandings of linear time that capture and foster desires for alternative radical temporalities, for non-capitalist senses of time. I discuss how these works disrupt linear notions of time as progress, and as measure of productivity and economic growth, which are intrinsic to modernity, and the creation of financial debt. Against capitalist linear temporality, these Depression Era photographs enable a performative encounter, a realm of visual experimentation in which the spectator is invited to feel time differently, to imagine different alternative temporalities that emerge from the collapse of capitalism.

Abstract:
In the essay ‘Postscript on the Societies of Control’, Deleuze discusses the differences between nineteenth-century capitalism and contemporary capitalism, characterising the former as the spaces of enclosure and the latter as the open circuits of the bank. In contemporary capitalism, ‘[m]an is no longer man enclosed, but man in debt’ ( Deleuze 1992 : 6). Deleuze claims that under financial capitalism, where the primary use of money is self-generation, economic relations are thought in terms of an asymmetrical power relationship between debtor and creditor, rather than an exchange between commodities. Taking up Deleuze's claim, this paper analyses how time functions in the formation of subjectivity under financial capitalism, by focusing on the temporal structure of debt. The indebted are expected to bind themselves to the past, not only in the moment they make a promise to pay back, but from that moment onwards; in this process, a subject finds himself passively subjected to the temporality determined by the condition of indebtedness, and yet he also actively reproduces and imposes the fact of indebtedness on himself by the feeling of guilt. Guilt, arising from the irreversibility of what has been done and resulting in the inability to proceed into the future, is central both to the indebted and the melancholic. Thus a melancholic subject emerges: a subject conditioned by the dominance of the past and the impossibility of the future.

Abstract:
L’argument central de cette thèse est que le capitalisme financier en tant qu’économie fondée sur la dette produit une subjectivité mélancolique, en imposant à son sujet une structure particulière de temps. Je me suis appuyée sur la théorie deleuzienne du temps et sa thèse sur la formation du sujet. La synthèse du temps deleuzienne présente le temps comme constitutif du sujet plutôt que comme une forme subjective du temps, expliquant ainsi comment le sujet peut être passivement produit par le temps. Il procure également une thèse sur la formation du sujet à travers le capital, processus qu’il appelle « subjectivation ». En particulier, cette recherche consiste en trois tâches :(1) le rôle critique de la temporalité dans la formation du sujet, (2) la temporalité spécifique caractéristique du capitalisme financier contemporain, et (3) une pathologie du temps observée chez le sujet du capitalismeThis dissertation looks at time as a socially or psychologically imposed ‘structure’ that determines the ways in which past, present and future are weaved together in the subject. This inquiry presents (1) a critical role of temporality in the formation of the subject, (2) a specific temporality characteristic of contemporary financial capitalism, and (3) the pathologies of time found in the subjects of capitalism. The first two chapters provide an extensive analysis of Deleuze’s passive syntheses of time given in Difference and Repetition, which reveals the subject’s passive relation to time as a structure of ‘becoming.’ The following chapters examine how this ontological structure of time interacts with socio-economic temporalities in its production of the subject. I particularly focus on the temporal structure of debt, which has become a general condition of the subjects in the current economic system. I claim that the debt-based economy produces ‘melancholic subjectivity,’ characterized by a dominance of the past and the inhibition of becoming

Abstract:
In the beginning of the 1990's Swedish immigration policy, which bad been considered liberal and generous, became increasingly restrictive. A number of domestic as well as international factors led to new restrictions that particularly affected Bosnians with Croatian passports who applied for asylum. They were the first refugee group subject to new policy regulations and practices called 'temporary protection' (TUT). They also became the object of experimentation with diverse ideas concerning the development of a new immigration policy that emphasized the notion of 'repatriation' as opposed to 'integration'. This study consists of five articles that analyse these complex social processes from different methodological angles, trying to connect micro issues with macro ones, global issues with national issues, and local phenomena with practices affecting the individual. The introductory article deals with the experience of leaving one's country though the narrative of a single woman. During her period of immigration, she had been exposed to different national interests, discriminatory legislation and a variety of refugee experiences. These experiences included persecution, flight and emigration that were related to conditions of immigration, refuge and exclusion. The second article shows how the refugees coped with the labyrinth of temporality caused by the new Swedish refugee and immigration policy. This policy had been developed against the backdrop of EU harmonisation and insisted on temporary protection and repatriation. The third article is a comparative analysis of immigration processes in two different municipalities: Malmö and Karlskrona. This article shows that such different institutional contexts create different coping strategies among refugees. For example, Malmö as a large municipality with a long history of immigration is different from Karlskrona, which is a smaller town without such experiences with foreigners. Also, in Malmö there was no specific refugee camp whereas there was one in Karlskrona. The fourth article deals with the impact of the Swedish welfare state's austerity policy on the reception of local refugees. As a consequence of these changes, special relationships among refugees developed. These included both friendship and animosity as well as conflict and solidarity. Such relationships challenge the conventional wisdom that assumes that differences in ethnicity will only lead to conflicts among different groups. The fifth article examines the limits of this conventional wisdom. For example, while conflicts among different ethnic groups from the former Yugoslavia persist, solidarity among these groups has also developed as they respond to the difficulties of immigration and social exclusion. In order to analyse the complexity of a process that includes the global, local and individual levels, I developed a multifaceted theoretical approach. This thesis addresses four aspects of a refugee's status: essentialization, thera- peutization, 'problem' that refugees cause for international state system and exclusion. In this connection, my main conclusion is that the social position of being a refugee in particular, as well as processes of social inclusion in general, can only be understood if we move beyond essential and biological explanations and beyond culturalization and therapeutization. Instead, we must focus on social and structural explanations.digitalisering@umu

Broberg, Maria, and Rania Simonsson. "”det är lättare om man är en del av konflikten” : Om teammedlemmars upplevelser av konflikthantering." Thesis, Linköpings universitet, Företagsekonomi, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-157753.
Abstract:
Då konflikter i princip är oundvikliga i projekt och på arbetsplatser, är det en central fråga för organisationer (Tonnquist, 2016). Redan 1995 beskrevs det att konflikter kommer bli allt mer förekommande inom organisationer, oavsett branschtillhörighet, på grund av lojalitetsbrist mellan arbetstagare och arbetsgivare (Wall & Callister, 1995). Idag är teamarbete mer regel än undantag (De Dreu & Weingart, 2003) och arbetsformen team beskrivs som ytterligare en bidragande orsak till uppkomsten av konflikter (Wall & Callister, 1995). Då det saknas forskning som belyser teammedlemmens perspektiv och dennes upplevelser av konflikthantering är det ett ämne som är intressant att studera. Syftet med studien är således att bidra till ökad förståelse för hur teammedlemmar upplever konflikthantering. Teorier om konflikttyper, konflikthanteringsstilar samt temporalitet har i kombination med ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv använts för att uppfylla studiens syfte. För att bidra till ökad förståelse för fenomenet har en komparativ fallstudie om fyra fall genomförts. De fall som har studerats har varit teammedlemmar och empiri har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fenomenet har studerats i kontexten team och organisation och för att sammanställa och analysera det empiriska materialet användes tematisk analys respektive tvärfallsyntes som verktyg. I studien framkommer bland annat att teammedlemmar upplever konflikter som någonting positivt, då konflikter kan bidra till utveckling av individers förmåga att förstå människor eller utveckling av teamets prestation. Det har argumenterats för att anammandet av vissa konflikthanteringsstilar leder till uppkomst av nya konflikter (DeChurch, Hamilton & Haas, 2007) men i denna studie framkommer att dessa stilar också kan användas för att motverka uppkomsten av dessa konflikter.As conflicts more or less are inevitable in projects and workplaces, it is a central issue for organizations (Tonnquist, 2016). As early as in 1995, conflicts were described as becoming increasingly prevalent, due to lack of loyalty between employees and employers (Wall & Callister, 1995). Today, teamwork is the exception that proves the rule (De Dreu & Weingart, 2003) and teamwork as a way of working is described as another contributing factor to the emergence of conflicts (Wall & Callister, 1995). As there is no research that highlights the team member’s perspectives and their experiences of conflict management, this is an interesting subject to study. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of how team members experience conflict management. Theories about types of conflict, conflict management styles and temporality, in combination with a phenomenological perspective, have been used to fulfill the aim of the study. In order to contribute to an increased understanding of the phenomenon, a comparative case study of four cases has been carried out. The cases that have been studied have been team members and empirical data have been collected through semi-structured interviews. The phenomenon has been studied in the context team and organization. To compile and analyze the empirical data, thematic analysis and cross case synthesis were used as tools. The study reveals, among other things, that team members experience conflicts as something positive, since conflicts can contribute to the development of individuals' ability to understand people or a team's performance. It has been argued that the adoption of certain conflict management styles leads to the emergence of new conflicts (DeChurch, Hamilton & Haas, 2007) but this study shows that these styles can also be used to counteract the emergence of these conflicts. Furthermore, this study shows that managers as third parties have an important role in the management of conflict situations and by taking part of this study, managers can become aware of the consequences of their actions. Finally, the study reveals that when team members manage conflicts themselves, they use their precious experiences concerning conflicts. It has previously been discussed that temporality should be included in the theories used (Hernes, Simpson & Söderlund, 2013) and this study also acknowledges that the time perspective should be integrated into existing theories of conflict and conflict management.

Lago, Lina. "”Mellanklass kan man kalla det” : Om tid och meningsskapande vid övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett." Doctoral thesis, Linköpings universitet, Lärande, Estetik, Naturvetenskap (LEN), 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-106055.
Abstract:
Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett och hur barn lär känna och skapar mening om vad skola och förskoleklass är. Detta görs genom att studera hur övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett markeras genom olika aktiviteter och de processer i vilka barn tillsammans med andra barn, lärare och kontext skapar mening kring övergången. Det empiriska materialet består i huvudsak av deltagande observationer och fältanteckningar från fältarbete men också av intervjuer med barnen. Övergången analyseras med hjälp av teoretiska perspektiv på tid, passageriter och socialisation. Analysen visar att förskoleklass och årskurs ett genom att markeras som åtskilda också konstrueras som olika. Analysen visar också att tid och temporal orientering är viktigt för hur övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett förstås. Olika tidsaspekter (dåtid, nutid och framtid) används av barn och lärare för att ge mening till övergången. Den tidsaspekt som är mest framträdande är framtiden. Den används för att förstå övergången men övergången förstärker också fokus på framtiden. Övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett kan förstås utifrån ett övergångsschema med en separationsfas, en liminal fas och en fas av införlivande. Även förskoleklassen som sådan kan förstås som en liminal övergångsfas i övergången från förskola till skola. Övergången är en kollektiv process där barn tillsammans gör övergång. Samtidigt innehåller övergången individuella aspekter och avvikelser från vad som framstår som normalövergången. Sådana avvikande erfarenheter bidrar till hur den kollektiva övergången konstrueras. I dessa socialisationsprocesser konstrueras mening i samspel mellan barn, lärare och skola. Att barn orienterar sig mot skolans temporala ordning och deltar i socialiserande aktiviteter innebär att de på olika sätt konstrueras som elever men också att de konstruerar skola och övergången från förskoleklass till årskurs ett.The aim of the thesis is to explore one of the first transitions that Swedish school children encounter and how children get to know and make sense of the school system. The point of departure is to study what activities are undertaken to mark the transition from preschool class to first grade and the meaning-making processes in which children are involved. Ethnographic data from two Swedish school settings are used in the study. The material contains participant observations and field notes from different school settings, as well as ethnographic interviews with the children. The transition is analysed using theoretical perspectives on time together with concepts such as rites of passage and socialization. The analyses show that the preschool class and first grade are marked as different in several ways during the transition process. The analysis also show that time is important for the meaning ascribed to the transition. Different aspects of time (past, present and future) are used to do and make sense of the transition. Talk about the future and activities pointing at the future are used to understand transition, but transition also strengthens the focus on the future. The transition from preschool class to first grade can be understood as a phase of separation, a liminal phase and a period of incorporation. But the preschool class itself can also be understood as a liminal phase, a time in between preschool and school. It was found that transitions constitute a collective process through which children do transition together. At the same time, transitions can be understood as multiple, as children deviate from a normal transition. Such deviant experiences further add to how a “normal” transition is understood. In socialization processes, meanings are constructed in interactions between children, teachers and school. Children’s orientation to the temporal order of school and their participation in socializing activities contribute to the construction of children as students, but also to the construction of school and transition.

Tim, Landfeldt. "Att rädda det förgångna : Om Walter Benjamins historiska materialism." Thesis, Södertörns högskola, Institutionen för kultur och lärande, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-24361.
Abstract:
The present essay concerns Walter Benjamin’s thought regarding history and temporality as he articulated it in his last work that was only published posthumously: ”Über den Begriff der Geschichte”. The purpose is to analyze Benjamin’s construction of historical materialism and to suggest a reading of it as directed towards an opening of history. For Walter Benjamin, every moment presents itself as a possibility of radical otherness: a possibility for things to be different. In this essay, I therefore want to concentrate on key concepts constituting such possibility, namely, remembrance [Eingedenken] and redemption [Erlösung]. I will further examine their relation to the specific experience of the past. Following Benjamin, in this essay I am constructing a critique of positivist concepts of linear time and Marxist teleology in regard to history and temporality. Another purpose is to establish an alternative concept of history and temporality as it is to be found in Benjamin’s own thought. Furthermore, the essay seeks to engage in a dialog with Benjamin’s historical reflection in an attempt of capturing the Benjaminian concepts of dialectical image and now-time [Jetztzeit] and by doing this to envisage a genuine break from the notion of historical progress. In presenting such a break as a possibility of opening up history, I seek to raise the question of political action [Aktion]. As demonstrated in the essay, the notion of action, its ethics and politics, is to be found, both implicitly and explicitly, in the way Benjamin develops the persona of the historical materialist and in his concept of redemption, but the analysis must start with a thorough investigation of the concept of remembrance [Eingedenken], without which Benjamin’s meaning cannot be understood.

Abstract:
This essay examines three art projects that temporarily moved public sculptures to new locations. This thesis aims to analyze what effects these projects have on the public space and what significance it has on the public sculptures concerning conceptions of democracy and temporality. The conclusion of the essay is based on theories on public space and democracy by Catharina Gabrielsson and Rosalyn Deutsche. To analyze the aspect of temporality the essay relies on Elizabeth Freeman's theory of Chrono normativity and Catharina Gabrielsson's and Magnus Andersson's definition of the concept of annual growth rings (årsringar) in sites. The essay further uses Jessica Sjöholm Skrubbe's revision on Wolfgang Kemp's methodology of the aesthetics of reception and Roland Barthes's theory of semiotics to analyze the significance of the sculptures in the public space. The results of the analysis show that the art projects open up for different democratic possibilities in the public space by temporarily moving public sculptures.

Abstract:
This thesis explores how visions of the good life, as understood by Lauren Berlant, communicate through advertising for home cleaning services in a Swedish context. With an ambition to map out how life is portrayed in these commercials this thesis wants to shed light on how these portrayals of life can be understood as the good life and in turn, how they reproduce structures of power. In relation to research on the debate of the Swedish Rutavdrag, work/life balance and the perception of cleaning in Sweden the thesis continues to look into how paid cleaning service is constructed and understood. It draws on theories about work, emotion/affect and temporality that is tied together in an understanding of the good life as dependent of all of these to become possible. A promotion of happiness and feelings of intimacy, work induced with emotional value and a productivist temporality are all parts of what makes up the good life, that is what I pay attention to in my analysis. Through a multimodal critical discourse analysis, the material is analyzed in three steps where the first two steps is focused on one individual commercial/ad and the third connects several of them to analyze how the good life is depicted. The analysis is divided into two main themes: time for relationships and Win win. The first theme shows an emphasis on close family relationships that appears to be threatened by cleaning or mainly conflicts about cleaning, the service smooth over the frictions and makes an intimate life enjoyable and improved. The good life here is closely linked to good relationships and busy schedules. The second theme Win win analyses material that focuses on how the work and the workers situation. In this theme a picture emerges of the employer as someone who does a good deed by employing someone through a good company that has good conditions. This theme implicitly addresses the tension that surrounds cleaning services in Sweden and dissolves it with smiles. While wrapping the service good feelings and the promise of good deeds the unequal exchange changes into something natural and good. The good life is not as obvious in this theme, the focus on the good conditions rather promotes home cleaning as a possible part of the good life since it does not disturb the narrative of the good life as a moral good. In order to have an opportunity to move towards the good life, time is needed.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes two paintings by the British artist Gwen John. The purpose is to investigate how the two paintings The brown teapot and Portrait of Mrs Atkinson communicate performatively with the viewer and whether individual picture elements can be thought of as metaphors for a flow of time. Theoretically, the study is based on the concepts of performativity and temporality to create a discursive framework that is then used to ask questions that seek to answer hypotheses in accordance with the purpose formulation. One conclusion is that both paintings appears to place the beholder outside the image and that limits the viewer's active response. In the portrait of Mrs Atkinson, it is also not possible to meet the model's gaze, which creates further distance to the viewer. Both paintings are interpreted as an expression of a slow flow of time, mainly by the way they exclude the viewer from an active and direct space to respond to, but instead offering a contemplative and reflective passive role as a beholder.

Kim, Jodi. Settler Garrison. Duke University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/9781478022923.
Abstract:
In Settler Garrison Jodi Kim theorizes how the United States extends its sovereignty across Asia and the Pacific in the post-World War II era through a militarist settler imperialism that is leveraged on debt as a manifold economic and cultural relation undergirded by asymmetries of power. Kim demonstrates that despite being the largest debtor nation in the world, the United States positions itself as an imperial creditor that imposes financial and affective indebtedness alongside a disciplinary payback temporality even as it evades repayment of its own debts. This debt imperialism is violently reproduced in juridically ambiguous spaces Kim calls the “settler garrison”: a colonial archipelago of distinct yet linked military camptowns, bases, POW camps, and unincorporated territories situated across the Pacific from South Korea to Okinawa to Guam. Kim reveals this process through an analysis of how a wide array of transpacific cultural productions creates antimilitarist and decolonial imaginaries that diagnose US militarist settler imperialism while envisioning alternatives to it.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 locates the origins of Ralph Ellison’s philosophy of temporality in the ideas of Henri Bergson and Friedrich Nietzsche, and reads Ellison’s debut novel Invisible Man in light of these observations. Anticipating the work of Gilles Deleuze, Ellison places Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence into a Bergsonian context by combining Nietzsche’s arguments about history and immanence with Bergson’s claims about time and its fundamental creativity. The resulting philosophy prefigures Deleuze’s ideas about difference and repetition, or, the complex relationship between becoming and being. Because Invisible Man is the text where Ellison first fully articulates these concepts, this chapter treats the novel as a critical overture to Ellison’s corpus and the temporal and historical themes that recur throughout it. In the process, this chapter challenges long-held misconceptions about Ellison, including his debt to existentialism, his dedication to disorder, his commitment to surrealism, and his status as a modernist author.

Abstract:
The historical development of Istanbul’s gecekondu areas (informally-originated neighborhoods) can be broadly interpreted as a progression toward the center and subsequent re-peripheralization, both in sociopolitical terms and in actual urban geography. While Istanbul emerged in recent decades as a magnet for transnational migrants and for capitals pouring into the debt-fueled real estate sector, many such neighborhoods have been targeted by speculative socio-spatial restructuring projects, while also absorbing much of the migratory influx. The recent economic crisis plunged these urban redevelopment sites into a deadlock, generating a fragmented urbanscape in which multiple layers of uncertainty, suspension, and informalization overlap and interact. This chapter explores the unfolding transformation in Fikirtepe, the largest ongoing redevelopment project in the city, which has seen its social and urban fabric torn apart by the redevelopment and is currently stuck in an unstable but protracted limbo. As Fikirtepe becomes “unlivable” for many of its long-time dwellers, a number of migrants are moving in, etching out a living: a collateral effect of redevelopment failure, creating a space of opportunity for new disenfranchised populations with varied backgrounds, legal statuses, and life trajectories. Within this setting, this chapter analyzes the periphery as a condition that is articulated, reproduced, and transformed through embodied practices. With their practices, narratives, and trajectories, those who inhabit such botched urban transformation embody different layers of the periphery, contributing to shape an understanding of it as a perspectival condition with a polyvalent spatiality and temporality.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the pathological restlessness of the New Woman figure in Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905). Wharton’s authentic renderings uncannily precede recent discoveries in sleep medicine. Lily Bart’s sleeplessness, for example, is symptomatic of “sleep debt,” in which prolonged wakefulness leads one to collapse into undesired sleep states. Her reliance on sleep aids and caffeine are symptomatic of Gilded Age class oppression, in which incessant social duties are forced on Lily yet eschewed by the novel’s more privileged characters. Critiquing cultural efforts to maximize time, Wharton’s literary naturalism explores the temporality of determinism, presenting a social world that will not accommodate the time that Lily needs to rest and restore herself.

Abstract:
The context of global crisis and endemic war is not the only historical horizon in which encounters between the living and the dead take place. There are less visible ones which obey a broader, less chaotic temporality. This chapter focuses on the ghost as a member of the family group whose model was shaped in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe. The genealogical memory of the families of the nobility, but also of the urban societies, stretches along a vertical line that extends from the nuclear family to the grandparents and on to the ghosts of the ancestors. The apparitions of the early modern age are rarely anonymous: they bear a name, a history, a family and specific things to ask of their relatives. The aim here is to describe the theatre of these encounters in order to observe what is at stake: negotiating a forgotten inheritance or debt, recalling the memory of deceased spouses or tempering the excesses of parental mourning, within a carefully gendered division of the functions of each. Thus ghosts contribute to shaping the family of the early modern age.

Abstract:
The chapter discusses Butrus al-Bustani’s Nafır Surriya (The Clarion of Syria) pamphlets and his translation of DeFoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Throughout these pamphlets, and using Crusoe’s story as an allegory for civil society in a post-war temporality, Bustani formulated a form of liberal nationalism in defence of the ‘true religion’ (diyana haqiqiya), Protestant in spirit and corresponding with a political economic logic that ties it to the history of capitalism. This wedding of religion and political economy is most strikingly evident in the way the concepts of guilt and debt were used to separate out a universalistic conception of religion from sectarian political identities. The political theology that underlies Bustani’s liberal logic, and which is the focus of the analysis throughout this chapter, raises the question of the nature of the rule of law in relation to violence; in other words, it exposes the fine line between law-making violence and law-preserving violence. Furthermore, Bustani’s worldview provides us with an understanding of the kinds of symbolic investiture that iterate the performative nature of rites of initiation into community in fin de siècle Beirut, ones that restrict the potentialities of politics from within a ‘psycho-theological’ framework.

Abstract:
In this chapter, Jamie Morgan describes the logic at work in private equity (PE) firms and how they articulate hierarchy-type global wealth chains. Morgan explains how PE firms use leveraged buyouts to concentrate and accelerate heightened returns to the firm within defined time period. This involves the deployment of a series of strategies that have the effect of reducing taxable income of acquired firms. The key asset strategies here are temporally based. PE firms take acquisitions into private ownership by using huge amounts of debt to buy them. This debt becomes a wealth chain asset in that it is tax deductible. Returns to the PE firm can flow across multiple corporate entities. Further, returns to the PE partners are taxed at the lower capital gains rate rather than as income tax. Using case examples from the UK, Morgan elaborates on how PE firms exploit global wealth chains.
