초록

This paper explores modalities of temporality in Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs Dalloway and addresses the question, “Do we live in the same time?” It investigates how feminist perspectives can transform our understanding of time, identity, and future through a critical engagement with discourses on temporality within narrative and feminist theory. By examining Mrs Dalloway as a modernist one-day novel, this study highlights how its form disrupts linear, teleological narratives while representing Clarissa Dalloway’s multi-dimensional temporal experiences, drawing on Rita Felski’s concepts of everyday time, life time, and large-scale time. It also focuses on Elizabeth Dalloway, a representation of the emerging generation, to explore Woolf’s vision for women’s futures. Ultimately, this paper argues that Woolf’s work offers crucial insights for resisting the oppressive demands of neoliberal temporality, characterized by the belief in time as a linear, efficient, and self-managed resource, which prioritizes individual responsibility, productivity, and future-oriented planning.
