    What Time Will It Be After Capitalism?

    In this time of expanding possibilities and immanent dystopias, how do we think through a revolutionary conception of time? In this article, a review of Jérôme Baschet’s book, Défaire la tyrannie du présent. Temporalités émergentes et futurs inédits (La Découverte, 2018), Christophe Bonneuil tackles the temporal dimensions of overcoming capitalism by way of a detour through the Zapatista experience, offering a deep insight into our relationship to history.
