First published in 1989 by Suhrkamp Verlag as Eigenzeit Entstehung und Strukturierung eines Zeitgefnhls , this study observes that the development of industrialism was based upon a linear and abstract conception of time which is today supplanted by a vastly different temporal system. The author analyzes the implications of modern communication and the social institutions associated with it, showing that a specific time perspective centered in the individual expresses a yearning for forms of experience that are subversive of established institutional patterns.
