TIME: An Alternative Guide to the Greenwich Observatory
Conflicts & Negotiations Project
2016-17 MA cohort
The Royal Observatory in Greenwich has not only played a major role in
the history of astronomy and navigation, but more importantly set the
groundwork for the expansion of the temporal matrix that is Western
modernity. How has the standardisation of time originally intended as a
political tool for capital expansion colonised our daily routines which
now continously reproduce this hegemonic order? This alternative guide
to time seeks to explore contemporary conditions that have materialised
through the standardisation of time and question the linear temporality
that they postulate. Where are the spaces in which time can be resisted,
reconceptualised or decolonised?
