Time Pieces de Bernard Sharratt

Time Pieces

Bernard Sharratt

In three very different kinds of writing, this short book tackles various facets of the curious problems of time. A reflexive essay probes what it is that we are measuring when we try to consider our familiar time-based cultural activities. A review of a very ambitious but unwritten book investigates how we might radically change the way we spend our working time. And a satirically deconstructive reading of one of Derrida's most influential essays suggests an alternative approach even to our thinking about time.
Ranging from an anticipation of the implications of 3-D printing to a critique of the politics of deconstruction and a reconsideration of 'socially necessary labour time' this brief work will take only an hour to read but a long time to assimilate.

Praise for Sharratt's previous work:
.. an absolutely important first-rate book -Terry Eagleton
.. fascinating, entertaining, . . very impressive-David Lodge
.. the most richly-packed book by an English critic in recent years-Nicholas Tredell
.. astonishing, powerful, playful, brilliantly clever and attractive-Fred Inglis
