24/7: TERMINAL CAPITALISM AND THE ENDS OF SLEEP
Book ID/图书代码： 13850013B61279
English Summary/英文概要： Capitalism’s colonization of every hour in the day
24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.
Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 全週全年無休的消費模式
導致人類睡眠的末日資本主義侵略了我們生活中的每一秒，為了搶佔市場，24/7（一天24小時、一週七天）都在營業的店越來越多，雖然對身為消費者的人而言很便利，但此舉卻大大改變了我們的生活形式、生活結構以及社會模式。
本書作者，曾獲古根漢(Guggenheim)、蓋提(Getty)、邁隆(Mellon)及國家藝術基金會(National Endowment for the Arts)等研究獎助，哥倫比亞大學藝術史教授、普林斯頓高等研究院(Institute for Advanced Study)院士Jonathan Crary認為，24/7的商業經營型態對社會及人類造成以下影響：
- 強化消費主義、監控管理策略
- 削弱人類的注意力及感知能力
- 威脅人類的健康，因攸關健康的睡眠與24/7造成的生活形式無法共存
有些人已漸漸察覺資本主義過度擴張造成的反效果，書中也指出為反制資本主義侵蝕，人們採取的種種行動。

Awards/获奖情况：“The 24/7 phantasmagoria of digital exchange impresses the commodity deep into the body’s tissues, leaving only sleep as a partial respite. Jonathan Crary updates Marcuse’s One Dimensional Man with a vigilant critique of the totality of the seemingly eternal present of this pseudo-world.” (McKenzie Wark, author of The Spectacle of Disintegration )
“Crary’s polemic against the demands of 24/7 capitalism brilliantly illuminates the devastating effects of our changed temporality. Enjoined to constant productivity, we consume ourselves, our world, and our capacity collectively to imagine a common future. This is a crucial commentary on the format and tempo of contemporary life.” (Jodi Dean, author of The Communist Horizon )
