Abstract

This chapter argues for the need to investigate the temporal dimension of labour regimes in order to account more fully for the changing nature of capitalist production and related forms of labour control. To do so, this chapter revisits the concept of the dormitory labour regime and posits ‘time’ as the principal category in the analysis of the transnational organization of production. Time, as I show below, reveals the novel forms of material and discursive control over labour as well as the extent to which these control practices are imbued within a normative gendered and sexual order. The aim of this chapter is thus to broaden the established spatial approaches to transnationalization of production by bringing attention to the temporal analysis of labour regimes.
