The Diva Dimension

Time is everything. We set our alarms at a specific time, we go to lunch at a specific time - we’re all bound to time from the second we wake up. But why? And how did we come to this? This episode, join us as we explore the fascinating history of timekeeping, exposing how we arrived to the “Tyranny of Now” and way time has been manipulated in order to prop up systems of industry and capital. We’ll discuss chrononormativity, temporal oppression, queer time theory, generationality and futurity, alongside capitalism’s influence on modern time constructs and the lasting impact of time imperialism, colonialism, and cultural erasure. This episode will tee us up for the next in our series about time, so be sure to tune in! Support us on Patreon and get exclusive, early access!LinktreeInstagram and Tiktok | @outonearthpodEmail Us! | [email protected] CITED:Waterwheel ClepsydraHistory of Water-Powered Mechanical ClocksThe Long Time Academy Episodes 1-3 ½Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity- Jose Esteban MunozPlaying with Time: Gay Intergenerational Performance Work and the Productive Possibilities of Queer Temporalities - Stephen Farrier Hosted on Acast.
