[wish] Jonathan Crary, 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep


재밌을 거 같다. US Defense Department에선 철새 연구하라고 대학에 막대한 연구 지원금을 몇년동안 풀었다고 한다. 사람들 잠 안 자고 일하게 하는 방법을 밝혀내기 위해서. 무섭다.

24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.

Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation.
