See all formats and editions

The volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the sociology of time.

Based on selected contributions from leading writers, it illustrates the range of issues and perspectives which define the field.

The volume traces distinct traditions of time analysis in social science and uses these to explain, for example, the development of capitalist time-consciousness, the ways we structure time in organizations and institutions, and how our time perceptions change in line with changes in culture.

The book is for those who wish to understand how time comes to condition our everyday actions and affairs.
