Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the modern perception of time as linear and quantifiable, contrasting it with historical notions of time that are more varied and culturally specific. It critiques the idea of "homogeneous, empty time," as described by Walter Benjamin, which underpins contemporary concepts of progress and a singular global present, effectively marginalizing past experiences and alternative temporalities. Through this examination, it challenges the universality of modern time and its implications for understanding history and culture.
