Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- Time: How and For Whom? -- Part I: Time: An Interdisciplinary Overture -- 1 Thinking Temporally Today -- 2 What Does it Mean that Time is Culturally Constructed, Historically Contingent, and Socially Differentiated? -- 3 Time in Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Perspective -- Part II: Time Across Disciplines: Selected Essays -- Introduction to Part II -- 4 Circadian and Seasonal Clocks in Insects and Other Organisms -- 5 The Queue as Dystopia -- 6 Temporal Tactility in Trisha Brown’s Locus (1975) -- 7 Proust’s Novel Time -- 8 Time and the Earthworks -- 9 All the Time There Is: Cloth Sack as a Buddhist Metaphor for Time -- 10 The Temporalities of Sound in Elia Suleiman’s The Time That Remains -- 11 Media and the Cultivation of Time -- 12 Coral Reefs and Climate Change: We Are Running Out of Time -- List of Contributors -- Index
Summary: Time permeates language, society, and individual lives, but time eludes definition. From grand scales of geologic time to the exasperation of waiting in endless bureaucratic lines, from the unifying sense of ancestral presence at an ancient monument to the imminent question of climate resilience, this volume presents conceptions of time through a kaleidoscope of cultures and disciplines. Accessible to students and scholars alike, the book demonstrates that far from natural, stable, or singular, time is culturally dependent, historically contingent, socially constructed, and disciplinarily specific – and that multidisciplinary and cross-cultural conversations transform our understanding of time.
