Breaking up Time

Negotiating the Borders Between Present, Past and Future. Edited by Chris Lorenz and Berber Bevernage.

Thirteen expert historians and philosophers address basic questions on historical time and on the distinctions between past, present and future. Their contributions are organised around four themes: the relation between time and modernity; the issue of ruptures in time and the influence of catastrophic events such as revolutions and wars on temporal distinctions; the philosophical analysis of historical time and temporal distinctions; and the construction of time outside Europe through processes of colonialism, imperialism, and globalisation. With contributions by Constantin Fasolt, Peter Fritzsche, Peter Osborne et al. 273 Seiten, gebunden (Schriftenreihe der FRIAS School of History; Vol. 7/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2013) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
