Quotes by Jonathan Crary (?)

“Sleep is an uncompromising interruption of the theft of time from us by capitalism.”
― Jonathan Crary, 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep

11 likes

“Through the appropriation of public spaces and resources into the logic of the marketplace, individuals are dispossessed of many collective forms of mutual support or sharing. A simple and pervasive cooperative practice like hitchhiking had to be inverted into a risk-filled act with fearful, even lethal consequences. Now it has reached the point of laws being enacted in parts of the United States that criminalize giving food to the homeless or to undocumented immigrants.”
― Jonathan Crary, 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep

“The denial of sleep is the violent dispossession of self by external force, the calculated shattering of an individual.”
― Jonathan Crary, 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep
