Publisher's Synopsis
"Time" is a curious, difficult, and central notion in history and the other social and cultural sciences. It exists in many varieties - time chronolgically measured, personally or collectively experienced, conceptualised and theorised. On which semantical coordinates do we base, when we speak of temporal phenomena today? What happens, when we try to theorise historical time? And what is to be expected, when one transfers a time model from one discipline to another? Jon Mathieu deals with such questions in six essays. In doing so, he also looks over the shoulders of well-known protagonists of the interdisciplinary time-debate as they work on their texts and decide on their message.
