Summary: Die Forschungsgeschichte der Zeit wird traditionell von einer Trennung zwischen technikhistorischen Ansätzen, welche die Entwicklung der Zeitmessung nachzeichnen, und sozial- und kulurhistorischen Ansätzen, die sich etwa mit Fragen nach dem Zeitbewusstsein oder gesellschaftlicher Synchronisierung und Disziplinierung beschäftigen, bestimmt. "Material Histories of Time" eröffnet einen Dialog zwischen beiden Zugängen. Ausgehend von den Objekten wie zum Beispiel Monumental-, Tisch- und tragbare Uhren sowie Kutschenuhren werden Praktiken der Zeitmessung und -erfahrung untersucht. Die Beiträge reichen von den Anfängen der mechanischen Zeitmessumg im Mittelalter bis zur Industrialisierung im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert.Summary: The historiography of timekeeping is traditionally characterized by a dichotomy between research that investigates the evolution of technical devices on the one hand, and research that is concerned with the examination of the cultures and uses of time on the other hand. Material Histories of Time opens a dialogue between these two approaches by taking monumental clocks, table clocks, portable watches, carriage clocks, and other forms of timekeeping as the starting point of a joint reflection of specialists of the history of horology together with scholars studying the social and cultural history of time. The contributions range from the apparition of the first timekeeping mechanical systems in the Middle Ages to the first evidence of industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries.
