DESCRIPTION:This intervention develops arguments in our book Capitalism a
 nd the Sea (Verso\, 2021) on the complex temporalities attached to capit
 alism's intense and peculiar relationship to the global ocean. Technolog
 ical innovations like the steamship or containerisation plainly transfor
 med the pace and intensity of maritime commerce\, and aspects of the glo
 bal economy. We take this further to argue that the very origins and per
 iodisation of capitalism are connected to the global ocean\; as will be 
 our futures\, given the unpredictable implications of the oceans acting 
 as the biosphere's 'heat sink'. We consider three stylised expressions o
 f time at sea: surface-time\, social-time and deep-time\, suggesting tha
 t the ocean world as a geographical space articulates these in distincti
 ve and contradictory ways.\n\nRegister to attend: https://zoom.us/meetin
