Postcapitalism Podcast
In this episode, we’ll be talking about history, temporality, and what the movie Groundhog Day can teach us about escaping capitalism. Our guest is Onur Acaroğlu, a lecturer in sociology at the University of Northampton in the UK, and author of the recent book chapter “The Challenge of Postcapitalism: Non-Capitalist Temporalities and Social Pathology”. We'll discuss time loops, utopianism, and self-preservation as an act of political warfare.
