1 My discussion focuses particularly on what sociologists and anthropologists have termed 'social time'. This term was first introduced by Durkheim and according to Greenhouse can now be defined as the study of 'the ways in which social experience defines the forms, meanings and relevance of time' (25). Importantly, I will not be discussing time either in terms of an 'objective time' or of a purely 'subjective time', a traditional philosophical distinction which I have questioned elsewhere (Bastian 25-31). This is, in part, because both approaches fail adequately to deal with the wide variety of symbolic, normative, and evaluative aspects of temporality that are given to us within sociality.
