This chapter develops an account of ‘crip time’ that traces how disabled people inhabit, resist, and are constrained by the temporal rhythms of solid and liquid modernity. It begins by outlining the invention of crip time as a lived theory of temporal resistance describing the disabling impact of the rigid sequencing of modern life. In solid modernity, time is organised linearly: ordered, disciplinary, and imposed through institutions that demand regularity, predictability, and compliance. In liquid modernity, this gives way to pointillist time—fragmented, accelerated, market-driven—where optimisation, fitness culture, and competitive individualism break life into hurried moments that must be constantly managed. The chapter shows how disabled people are uniquely exposed to both regimes: slowed by bureaucracy yet pressured by speed; bound to appointments and assessments yet navigating a culture that prizes flexibility and constant readiness.
