We are bringing out an edited collection of essays with the working title Time is Power: Temporality and Caste. Time is an ontological phenomenon organized around humans’ need for social interaction and collective life, often compelling individuals to be chrono-normative or abide by a rigid clock. Currently little scholarship exists which examines the power of time and temporal agency in an environment organized by systems of caste and other intersecting identities.
