the political Economy of immigrant Time rights citizenship and temporariness in the post 1965 era
Polity, 2015Co-Authors: Elizabeth F CohenAbstract:In politics, temporal measurements are nearly ubiquitous. Youths must wait 18 years for the right to vote, prison sentences punish people in quantities of Time, and immigrants who seek to naturalize must undergo a probationary period before becoming citizens. In these and other examples, Time serves as a form of political currency that can be exchanged for rights. Many different values, for example, loyalty, civic knowledge, or cultural assimilation can be represented using increments of Time. These increments of Time are then inserted along with other variables into formulae for the conferral or denial of rights. The systematic deployment of Time in this way creates a political Economy of Time in which measured durational Time is used as currency to conduct transactions about rights between the state and its population. This article introduces how the political Economy of Time operates and goes on to examine its effect on immigrants in the US during the post-1965 era. In so doing, it sheds light on the normative potential and limits of the political Economy of Time for immigrants and shows how the Time spent by immigrants living in the US has slowly been devalued over the past half-century. Understanding the political Economy of immigrant Time sheds new light on the potential of actions such as deferred departure to create and legitimize a class of permanent semi-citizens.

The Political Economy of Immigrant Time: Rights, Citizenship, and Temporariness in the Post-1965 Era
Polity, 2015Co-Authors: Elizabeth F CohenAbstract:In politics, temporal measurements are nearly ubiquitous. Youths must wait 18 years for the right to vote; prison sentences punish people in quantities of Time; and immigrants who seek to naturalize must undergo a probationary period before becoming citizens. In these and other examples, Time serves as a form of political currency that can be exchanged for rights. That is, increments of Time are used to represent different values, such as loyalty, civic knowledge, or cultural assimilation; and then these increments are inserted along with other variables into formulae that confer or deny rights. The deployment of Time in this way creates a political Economy of Time in which durations of Time are used as currency for states and citizens to transact over rights. This article studies the effects of the political Economy of Time on immigrants in the United States during the post-1965 era. The article shows that their Time has slowly been devalued over the past half century and reveals the potential of actions, such as deferred departure, to create and legitimize a class of permanent semi--citizens.

the political Economy of Time in the internet era feminist perspectives and challenges
Information Communication & Society, 2001Co-Authors: Gillian YoungsAbstract:This paper examines the gender matrix of Time, arguing for cross-disciplinary consideration of political Economy, globalization and technology to achieve a detailed understanding of gendered hierarchies of Time and the ways in which public/private identifications of social space and Time have variously constructed and maintained them. It is argued that women are alienated from their own Time, which is identified as most legitimately allocated to the service of others both in the home and at work. The inter-relationship of technologies and gendered identities is explored in relation to public/private divisions and the political-economic and scientific-technological knowledge processes that contribute to upholding them. ICTs reflect these historically established gendered patterns, but international projects such as 'Women on the Net' also demonstrate the capacities of these technologies for disrupting the gender matrix of Time through their use by women for women.

peering through the barriers in gps explanations for declining to participate in research the role of professional autonomy and the Economy of Time
Family Practice, 2007Co-Authors: Peter Salmon, Sarah Peters, Anne Rogers, Linda Gask, Rebecca Clifford, Wendy Iredale, Christopher Dowrick, Richard MorrissAbstract:BACKGROUND: The level of participation in research by GPs is low internationally. Previous reports of the reasons why practitioners decline opportunities for research participation have tended to recount the barriers that they describe as if they are objective accounts. OBJECTIVE: By theoretical sampling of practitioners who had declined to participate in a research trial, we sought to interpret the functional significance and interrelationship of the barriers that they reported. METHODS: Twenty-three GPs who had declined to participate in a trial of training to manage medically unexplained symptoms were interviewed and their accounts analysed interpretatively. RESULTS: The practitioners described general practice and research as alien fields. Research lacked intrinsic, clinical or professional value and was linked to evidence-based medicine which they rejected as incompatible with person-centered care. Every doctor described a lack of Time for research, but Time was an elastic resource that payment could release from the reservoir of their 'own Time'. CONCLUSION: The findings should inform the design and interpretation of future quantitative surveys to identify how common the attitudes that we report are. Doctors with the attitudes of those whom we interviewed will not be drawn into research by measures predicated on the assumption that it is intrinsically, clinically or professionally valuable. If they cannot be convinced of its utility, value could be conferred by payment for participation.
