Joseph examines time in contemporary life through five conceptual metaphors that have captivated literary, critical, and cultural studies: specters, attachments, networks, markets, and assemblages. Joseph demonstrates how these terms are embedded with their own temporal structures and linguistic complexity. She develops a mode of reading that she calls “conceptual-metaphorical performances,” which embody the writers’ complex chronopolitical commitments and their refusal to concede to the political paralysis implied in the synchronous and flattened world-time of globality.
