I/we live in a society where every week is critical, a society where crisis is chronic, a society that makes crisis chronic. Confronting this harsh reality is often too hard for me to endure. Walter Benjamin provided some comfort on this point when he wrote, `the state of emergency is not the exception but the rule’.
I am dreaming of the days when I will be able to manage my own time and space, when I will be more imaginative and caring. I wanted to open up a new space of reflection that breaks away from the closed circuit in which a sterile language is merely reproduced over and over again. I wanted to write a more dialogical text than this. Indeed, I want to know who are the time managers that make my life so hectic.
"'You are entrapped in an imaginary well': the formation of subjectivity within compressed development - a feminist critique of modernity and Korean culture," Cho Han Hae-Joang
