Description
Helga Nowotny's exploration of time in contemporary life offers a fresh perspective on this complex topic. She examines how our understanding of time has evolved, from the linear and abstract conception of industrialism to the flexible specialization and just-in-time production systems of modern industry. The author considers the impact of new information and communication technologies on temporal regimes, including the implications of worldwide simultaneous experience made possible by satellite technologies. Nowotny also explores the reorganization of time involved in continuous technological innovation, and how this affects our individual experiences of time. In this analysis, Nowotny reveals a yearning for forms of experience that are subversive of established institutional patterns, highlighting the search for a 'time of one's own' in a world of rapid change.
