In the Arms of Unconsciousness:Capitalism,Creative Economy,and the End of Rest in Gustavo Vinagre’s Unlearning to Sleep

摘要

The aim of the article is to explore the relation among capitalism,creative economy,and the end of rest in Gustavo Vinagre’s movie Unlearning to Sleep.The main argument indicates that,in the context of the imperatives within the inhumane temporalities of the 24/7 society,sleep and rest may represent an inevitable and anomalous resistance to the demands of the capitalist order in which creative economy is immersed and exposed in the movie.
