    The Social Experience of Time
    Cut off from the past, in fear of the future, our experience of the present is fragmented: time as a commercialized commodity, time as the experience of day-to-day life, time as felt during risk-taking, etc. An analysis of any given society must take into account these evolving and overlapping temporalities, while providing an overall account of the ways in which each societal unit perceives, "produces," and organizes "its" time. After an overview of how time has been perceived, relativized and managed across various cultures and historical periods, the author focuses on our contemporary notions of time, and on our social efforts to control its passage. Against the backdrop of several current societal issues, she foregrounds the crucial role of time within contemporary debates and conflicts.
