Time Work: Studies of Temporal Agency - Paperback
About this item
by Michael G. Flaherty (Editor), Lotte Meinert (Editor), Anne Line Dalsgård (Editor)
Examining how people alter or customize various dimensions of their temporal experience, this volume discovers how we resist external sources of temporal constraint or structure. These ethnographic studies are international in scope and look at many different countries and continents. They come to the overall conclusion that people construct their own circumstances with the intention to modify their experience of time.
