The (re)production of organizational time : Reading the feminine through Henri Lefebvre

Abstract

This paper deals with understanding, firstly, how economic space-time works as a structuring paradigm based on the suppression of feminine time with the inevitable knock-on effects on social or domestic (procreative) life. Because economic space, as Lefebvre believes, is seductive, it “unleashes desire” by claiming all time for itself; time must now be reproduced in such a way that it can open outwards to social dimensions rather than closing them off.
