Abstract

The modern age is deemed by time, by a temporalization of experience, that is, an understanding that events and change are meaningful in their occurrence in and through time.
Millenial, evolutionary, and individual life narratives share such temporalizations with an emphasis on the endings. But not all times are the same. I examine conceptions of adolescence as partaking of panoptical time, a condensed, commodified time built upon global hierarchies of gender, race, and class. and understood at a glance as natural. Panoptical time emphasizes the endings toward which youth are to progress and places individual adolescents into a sociocultural narrative that demands “mastery” without movement or effect. In these ways I interrogate the developmentintime episteme through which adolescents are known, consumed, and governed. (First part)
